<p>hey all,
I was approved to take one of the FHS, Do Words Have Power?: Debates and Speeches in American Politics. I have heard several comments against taking an honors seminar... but I would like to know about the quality of this specific seminar. If anyone or (someone you know) took it, could you share your experience?</p>
<p>ps: im graduating a semester early so i can't afford to "waste" any elective credits, but I will squeeze it in if the seminar is really good.</p>
<p>ps: if I take this course, I won't be able to take either ConWest or World Culture in my first semester.. and I can afford only to take 2 electives throughout college! thats harsh.. haha.</p>
<p>You're a Sternie, right? What's the point of graduating early? Companies recruit for jobs that begin at a set time, and that's usually after the spring semester, I believe. It'll save you some money, but if you're going into big debt, a little more isn't going to make a difference.</p>
<p>Regardless, I think it's worth to take the Freshman Honors Seminars. It's a good way to start making connections with your professors, and you might make some good friends.</p>
<p>register it ASAP or it will close out on u... regardless of u being invited...
u can always drop it later
i agree with shades abt graduating early... i'm not a sternie but i don't think saving a semester's fee is worth spoiling ur college experience... and ur GPA which u will most most probably end up doing....i know ppl who're trying, i don't think its worth it.</p>
<p>i third that thought</p>
<p>do we have to take both Conversation with the West and World History or is it one or the other?</p>
<p>You have to take both ConWest and Wold Cultures, although it is advisable to take them at separate times.</p>
<p>Yeah, I considered graduating a semester early, but there's really no point. I'm in Stern, and everyone's pretty much told me that a lot of recruiting for full-time happens in the spring because the normal start date is during the summer/towards the fall, so you're actually missing out on a lot of possible recruiting opportunities by not being there in the spring.</p>
<p>Plus, if you can graduate a semester early, I'd actually advise you to just leave one of your required classes (most people choose to leave the 2 credit ethics class) for the spring and just go parttime 2nd sem senior year. Then, you're paying maaaybe $3-4k for tuition and then housing, which can be fairly easily covered if you're working or interning in your free time. </p>
<p>Enjoy college. You're going to be in the "real world" for the rest of your life. There's no need to get there any faster than you already are.</p>
<p>if you only register for 2 credits wouldnt you lose your housing (bc you're a part-time student)?</p>
<p>I believe there's an exception for senior Sternies - they can go part-time during their last semester but stay in housing. Right, youko?</p>
<p>bump anyone?</p>
