| I am currently in a cluster.
Warning: Many people will present clusters to you as a great way to knock out a bunch of GE requirements and as a cool way to get to know a bunch of people since you stay in the same class for an entire year...BUT...
While the topics are pretty interesting and the professors are very knowledgeable, please know that clusters are A LOT of work. For the cluster I am in, there are roughly 50 - 150 pages to be read each week, 3 to 4 semi-big papers in each quarter (7-10 pages) plus midterms and finals.
I would definitely not recommend a cluster to anyone who does not enjoy reading. But if you feel really interested in a subject and like a little bit of pain, a cluster just might be for you. |
