<p>foundnemo, I think the book you are referring to is Chemistry, not Chemical Principles. They are 2 different textbooks and the 6/e is for Chemistry, and the latest edition of Chemical Principles is still the 5/e. Unless they’ve changed textbooks entirely, this is the latest edition available.</p>
<p>asterstar, I have no idea as of right now. I might sell them to a friend or just keep them. It’s pretty hard to sell books on Amazon if you don’t have a good/established reputation. I know I wouldn’t buy a book from someone who was a 1st time seller.</p>
<p>Also, I checked out the Chem 33 syllabus from last year and we’re not covering the entire book. We’re doing thermodynamics, aqueous equilibria, kinetics, and bonding. So that includes acids/bases and rate laws and other things like that (basically, everything from the 2nd half of AP Chem that I didn’t learn b/c I got pre-mature senioritis) but not stoichiometry or electrochemistry (aka things that I found easy). So Chem 33 sounds like a bundle of fun.</p>
<p>A ton. And they are very active and present on campus. I suggest checking out Brown’s student activity website, though that’s only a fraction of the groups (since not all of them have websites or are listed on the site). The activities fair every fall is always packed and exciting. What groups are you interested in specifically so maybe I could answer your question better?</p>
<p>Jen, sounds like we’re covering the important stuff ;-). Stoichiometry is too basic for anyone with Chemistry experience, and electrochemistry is actually rather specific and better taught in a class of it’s own later down the line (ever realize that it’s almost always last with no connection to the rest of chemistry, except maybe equilibria and only orgo seems more out of place in the NYS curriculum?).</p>
<p>Anyway, yah, that’s the book I had for AP Chem in 11th grade.</p>
<p>Students for AIDS awareness, definitely some kind of poverty situation. I saw the website, I was just wondering how active they were. Also, I have 12398298 clubs and scuh that I want to join, and I’ll be an athlete and write for the paper. Will I be able to do everything I want to, do you think?</p>
<p>There is a Swearer Center for Public service that is involved in a lot of poverty stuff - google them and check out their website and they can probably tell you about more groups. They are all pretty active to my knowledge. Depends on how you manage your time, but you’ll have to find that out once you come!</p>
<p>A student production company that puts on three works by Shakespeare each spring, which are performed outside. Each play is directed seperately with seperate actors, etc. This year I believe they put on As You Like It, Macbeth, and Richard III. Usually they are done on the Main Green or Lincoln Field (though I believe this year two of them were done elsewhere, but still outside), hence the name, Shakespeare on the Green.</p>
<p>About chem: I don’t plan on taking any chem classes until sophomore year, so should I take the placement test this year at orientation, or can I wait until next year?</p>
<p>There are a lot of international students, approximately 10%, which is one of the highest in the Ivy League. They get an extra day of orientation before the rest of the freshmen arrive so they can get to know each other and get special info on living in America, and there is an International Theme house that is incredibly popular (among americans and internationals, its only half international) after freshman year. I’m not sure how many indians there are at brown, but I’ve met two just on my own, so I’m sure there are a decent amount. Hope that helped.</p>
<p>hey funkyspoon, the placement exam is really more for yourself than a “placement exam” per se. it will give you a sense of how comfortable you’d be in CH 33 vs CH 10. if you took chem at Holmdel and did well, you’d be fine in CH 33</p>
<p>In my experience, the Indian community is a HUGE and active part of the International community at Brown, I’d say more than almost any other single group of such students. I second that SASA is very, very active.</p>
<p>Why? Odds are if someone starts a new thread, someone will refer them to the search bar (with reason), and this is an informative thread. Sure, a few things are outdated, but for the most part it’s pretty helpful. I read this thread and another one similar to this one when I wanted to find out more about Brown.</p>
<p>Sorry, my OCD is starting to show :). I hate people commenting on old threads. I’m willing to offer my services to either this or a new thread for questions for current students, though.</p>
