uiuc division of general studies..good or bad??

<p>I've been accepted into the Division of General Studies b/c when I applied I said I was undecided. However, I currently have an interest for finance and accounting and I want to be in the business school. I have already talked with a counselor by telephone and she said that I have to be in the Division of General Studies my first year, but after my first year i can transfer to the college of business. Is it bad to be in the Division of General Studies? Is it a waste of my time or does everybody have to take general education classes as a freshman. I just don't want to looked down upon and to be taking classes that aren't necessary when I already know what I want to study.</p>

<p>i would really appreciate any further information about other programs in UIUC!!</p>
