<p>o.. how is this schedule </p>
<p>Computer Science 5
Biological Sciences 11
Writing 5
Spanish 2 or 3</p>
<p>4 classes = 1 too many</p>
<p>biol 11 is supposed to be a rather craptackular class … nobody likes it, nobody wants to teach it, and generally it’s a bit of work</p>
<p>cs5 will be fine if you have a good analytic mind, enjoy problem solving, or have done programming before … if you don’t, then that class will be hell. either way, you’ll have to put some time into it</p>
<p>writing 5 will depend completely on your prof</p>
<p>span2/3 shouldn’t be too bad, but you’ll have drill for span 2 at least.</p>
<p>DO NOT TAKE 4 CLASSES. I’ve written this before, but if you tell other freshmen that you are taking 4 classes, you will come off as a pretentious geek. </p>
<p>Writing 5 shouldn’t be too bad – def check course reviews before you sign up. Spanish is a ton of fun and you can actually make friends in those classes. Language classes are like 2 classes though – 2 hours almost every day.</p>
<p>Def second rightnotleft about cs. I went in to cs4 thinking it was going to be breeze. Little did I know that once I got past html, my life would become a nightmare. </p>
<p>I took bio11 last term as a distrib (Emerging Infectious Diseases with Guerinot). It wasn’t too tough to get the median and I’m def no science person. There wasn’t any homework or reading; I’d just cram the night before our exams. </p>
<p>REMEMBER your goal your first term is to make friends, get to know the campus, and have fun.</p>
<p>PS. When I say don’t take 4 classes, it’s like when I said don’t live in East Wheelock. You will regret it.</p>
