| How advanced are 200 courses?
Does anyone know whether it would be advisable to take a 200 level course during first semester of freshmen year? How do these courses differ from introductory 100 level courses? Thanks. |

| For example I was thinking about satisfying one of the General College requirements by taking a 200 level anthropology course. How do you think this would be? In general all of the courses I'm talking about are along these lines (ex. anth, geog., art, hist). | |

| That should be fine. I took ANTH 280 spring semester of my freshman year and didn't find it harder than any 100 class I took.
It depends on the professor, though. | |

| Nahh doesn't matter either way. Just pick one you're interested in. As far as the general ed stuff there's no real difference in difficulty based solely on the numbers. | |

| What about a 400 level course your first semester?
I'm a junior OOS transfer student and signed up for WMST 410: Comp Queer Politics. It satisfies THREE of my general education requirements... can I handle it? | |

| When I tried doing that, my counselor told me to wait for my 2nd semester so you can get used to the school first.
I know how desperate it is trying to figure out how to satisfy all of your GenEd requirements, but I do think it was sound advice. | |

| I'm actually a high school student who intends to attend a summer session for 300-500 level math courses. I was curious if 200 level courses may be an issue, what would be said about 300-500 or if the op was just worrying. | |

| You want to take 300-500 level math courses in summer school at UNC? Wow, I would not recommend doing that unless you are just a genius at math. What year are you in high school? | |

| I'll be a rising junior at that time. I will have the prerequisites though... if that counts for anything. | |
