<p>Hey lxlinh,
I’m an arch major as well :]
I believe that ENV 101/ 101L is the first class in the sequence of design classes for arch major in the 5-year plan. It doesn’t mean that it’s the only class you can take. You’ll have other GE and electives to take as well. As for design classes, I believe you can only take one at a time. It serves as a prereq for the next design class in the sequence.</p>
<p>I don’t know if you’re a freshman or transfer but being placed in ENV 101, I’m pretty sure
it means your standing is a first-year/beginning level arch student with regards to the design class sequence.</p>
<p>And it sounds like you haven’t gone on your orientation but when you do, an adviser may be able to answer your question better. He/she will help you through the class selection process for the first quarter as well :]</p>
