<p>Okay, so what's the scoop on the professors? Older students, are there certain professors to avoid, seek out, etc? Same goes for classes. Hopefully, a lot of Poli Sci or EPE majors answer this thread. :)</p>
<p>You’ll get more frank and up to date info at your late night bull sessions w/other students and your counselors – not here on CC. You’ll be amazed at the number of classes that suddenly appear to be “must haves” just listening to the chatter at lunch time the first few days of classes – ahhh, the joy of Shopping Period!</p>
<p>Yeah, it’ll actually probably be easier to ask this question to students in person. I think there are some really solid professors in those majors, but of course, you have to wait to take the seminars when you’re older before you really get to have any meaningful experiences with them.</p>
<p>Lots of student groups have “bluebooking parties” during Camp Yale where you can come and ask upperclassmen about classes. If you’re interested in poli sci/philosophy, the College Dems and several Yale Political Union-affiliated groups have bluebooking parties you can check out.</p>
<p>Haha, I guess…</p>
<p>Is Camp Yale freshman orientation?</p>
<p>^ Yes. But it’s a lot more than just “freshman orientation.” Camp Yale was my favorite part of Yale (thus far). It is all the fun of Yale (x5, or so) without any of the work of Yale. AMAZING!</p>
<p>Except for all the require meetings with frocos, deans, masters, and all the lectures on sexual and mental health… :/</p>
<p>Lectures on sexual and mental health? Sorry, idk if that’s common practice for freshman orientations (you see, I’ve never been to one before ;)), but I have an awful image of my high school health class, bananas, and those nasty powerpoint shows on STDs…</p>
<p>hahahahhaha</p>
<p>It isn’t much different honestly.</p>
<p>Camp Yale for upperclassmen is basically four or five days or incessant partying, while for freshman it is mostly partying interrupted by freshman orientation. All the fun of Yale is the indirect way of saying “unobstructed social time”, which for the vast majority of students is traditional college “activities” such as drinking heavily.</p>
<p>^^Hahah well it’s a relief to know most people on campus like to have a good time as much as any other college student.</p>
