<p>As an example... is having an hour and a half of mgmt 100 followed by an hour and a half of math too much in a row? I'm assuming mgmt is in huntsman and the math is near the football field. Do a lot of kids have 3 straight hours of class in buildings that are far apart and would you say it is good or bad?</p>
<p>Also, is ending at 6 on a Thursday "bad" for social reasons?</p>
<p>why are you planning already? Don’t we first get contacted by counselors to talk about schedules and such?</p>
<p>9-5 block on Tuesdays and Thursdays =)</p>
<p>I don’t think it’s a big deal since lectures aren’t exactly strenuous. For a class like math, all you’re doing is copying the blackboard</p>
<p>Having class til 6 isn’t bad at all. The dining halls open for dinner at 5 and I remember we liked to go early to avoid long lines but it won’t be a big deal if it’s twice a week. And meetings don’t start until 6.</p>
<p>I prefer to be in class for 3 hours at a time. I like scheduling back-to-back classes because otherwise I’m completely unproductive in between.</p>
<p>Running across campus (Huntsman to DRL at 33rd and Walnut, I think) within ten minutes definitely sucks. Try to avoid that, but try it out first and see if you like it.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Yeah that definitely builds calves muscles</p>
<p>having chem 101 and bio 101 back-to-back will be manageable, right? they’re RIGHT after each other, so would i have trouble getting to class on time?</p>
<p>yea don’t worry about getting to classes on time…the professors know…even if it seems that they are right next to each other…there are some time leeway </p>
<p>hahaha 6 is not late at all…i am planning to do comparative government that ends at either 8 or 9 at night…i hate mornings lol</p>
<p>3 hours of class is really not bad at all. both mgmt and math are sit-there-and-look-like-you’re-paying-attention/taking notes classes…this is in contrast to classes such as LGST210, where part of your grade is based on actual participation in class.</p>
<p>and to necrophiliac, no, you don’t get contacted by your advisors. if you do, it’s only to give out the general information that you can find online that gives suggested classes for freshmen and sophomores in wharton. also don’t expect to be nearly as close to your advisor at penn as in high school, since each one covers many more students</p>
<p>ok thanks for the heads up but who do we then turn to to navigate this new environment? I don’t have any family in business and no one I know went through US college for undergraduate studies. No personal touch–all done via internet research?</p>
<p>whaat: did you take LGST210? Are you doing legal studies/business? If so, do you like it?</p>
<p>Do we have to schedule by a certain date?</p>
<p>sorry if what i wrote came off as the academic advisors aren’t helpful – they really are good for helping you pick classes and such, so once you get to campus, definitely talk to them (esp. since you’ll have time to drop/add classes for a few weeks). they probly just know less individuals on a personal basis. and get in contact with as many upperclassmen as possible. they are a HUGELY helpful resource for getting to know about internships, particular classes/professors, etc.</p>
<p>and yes, i took LGST210, but i am not concentrating in it. i only took it because every wharton student has to take 2 out of a particular 3 classes, one of which is LGST210 (the others are LGST101 and BPUB203)</p>
<p>Thanks, Whaat. Did you like the class? I hear it’s difficult. Does it have a bad curve?</p>
<p>Also, do any 2013ers know if we need to schedule by a certain date?</p>
<p>the class was really different from a lot of other classes since it’s almost completely discussion-based. not really any homework except readings. but u gotta know ur stuff when midterm/finals roll around. a lot of ppl in my class got a b+, but maybe that was just my prof (hussain), iono.</p>
<p>Soooo many people take lgst 210 so there’s like 10 professors that teach it, and they all have their own style. I had no homework and two short papers all semester whereas other classes had multiple choice tests and other assignments.</p>
<p>Bio1 121 is in Leidy, which is not convenient to get to. It isn’t really far from the chem building, though, so just make sure you leave on time.</p>
<p>Also, DON’T buy a clicker for biol 121, even if they say you have to. Unless you really wanna spend $20 for no reason.</p>
<p>thanks whaat and theoneo. theoneo: who did you have lgst210? did you take any more lgst classes?</p>
<p>do you know anything about Env200?</p>
