<p>We are also dealing with this. S1 would like nothing better than to take Honors Analysis, Honors Physics, Human Being and Citizen and Discrete Math with Babai…first quarter. He wants to dive into that pool and soak it all in – NOW. Glasses, S is happy to forgo his AP Physics placement credit at Chicago to take Honors Physics just to get to play around with the math. Why? “Because my physics class this year [with a MV/DiffEq pre-req] has prepared me to handle it.”</p>
<p>We’ve been talking about all the other transitions that will be taking place this fall. He also knows from CC and his friends currently in Honors Analysis how much work is involved in just that class. He has conceded that Physics, two heavy math classes and a heavy reading class may be pushing it. (ya think?) Instead of Honors Physics, he is now considering the Honors CS class, which should be an interesting course to which he brings a great deal of background.</p>
<p>I’m glad to see the social side of Chicago students being more embraced – S is not into the partying thing, but he is definitely looking for a social life. However, there is no doubt that the intellectual vibe is the big attraction for him.</p>
