Chicago leaning away from nerdy/quirky

<p>S sat in on an HBC section when he visited last fall and really liked it. Also has some friends who have taken it and offered good reviews. He will definitely go for deep over wide.</p>

<p>Here’s a question for you veterans: how do the advisors and department advisors coordinate course recommendations? Is it safe to assume that the advisors will have the results of the placement tests by the time students come to register? If one is getting placement out of courses by department approval (not by exam), does that happen before or after meeting one’s regular advisor?</p>
