lol ok, sorry for making the wrong assumption

erm yeah HC humans has the reputation for being elitist... and the teachers are actually the ones encouraging that kind of elitism. at least relative to the rest of the arts population, the treatment they get from teachers are really different. well, at least that's wad i heard from the HC friends.

RJ... there's definitely less distinction between humans classes and non-humans classes. in fact it took me some time to realize whether one particular class was a humans class. if i din remember wrongly, it turned out to be half-half. it seems like RJ humanities scholars fit better into the school than do their HC counterparts...

well i guess HC does have a stronger reputation for humanities, and it due largely in part to the tutors. at least in terms of econs notes, they beat RJ hands-down, in the sense that they are much more structured and easier to understand and digest for an average econs student like me. but if u r going for sophistication n in-depth learning, which i think u r, since u r going for humanities, i thought RJ notes were more useful. of coz this is just econs notes, and i shdn't extrapolate too much from there. i don't know whether the humanities students at HC go through more thorough lessons than the basic, fulfill-the-syllabus-will-do notes will suggest. i guess they probably do haha.
