Would have to unfortunately for At and T, echo ( no pun intended) emchurl's comments about At and T's call reception on campus. Both s and D had significant reception issues throughout the year...

Momdod-your DD has a very full schedule planned for first semester-Soucarmom and others are offeringg some sage advice-see what advisor has to say about options to cover GER's and seminars over the next two years. With regards to Bio and chem-our two and their friends have truly used ratemyprofessor.com to research faculty before selecting classes. Believe I mentioned this before, but D's advisor actually suggested this site, since many students participate in this program and students have found the ratings to be fairly on target. Both kids have several friends who are pre-med and have used this system for intro courses in bio. and chem. As for psychology-Furman's program is excellent and enjoys a strong national reputation . For some reason, tho, D's advisor, cautions her students NOT TO TAKE into. psychology as freshman due to difficulty and grade deflation in that course. I looked at grading data for that course and plurality of kids have B-B-. I believe the psychology program at FU is somewhat neuropsych. based-so taking that course along with 2 science classes will be an enormous mount of reading and written homeowrk. If possible, I would suggest taking the non-writing seminar the first semester in an attemp to lighten the load just a touch.
