Colleges & Universities Columbia University

<p>in my country, we don’t have sth like course choice. your only choice is between profiles, for example i’m on math-physics profile, what means i’have more hours and therefore more material (extended level) of these subjects.</p>

<p>so my course list is like this</p>

<p>3rd year
math
physics
chemistry
polish
english
german
social science
computer science
religion
p.e. :wink: (hey, it’s still 3h/week of my life!)
history</p>

<p>2nd and 1y
the same
+biology
+geography
+how to name it? defensive knowledge? sth about first aid, wars, army equipement… :wink:
+economy</p>

<p>so is it impressive courseload for school like columbia or you in u.s have sth like that too?</p>

<p>wat’s sth???</p>

3

<p>I mean, how many courses do you usually take per year? If I could choose, I won’t take biology, geography, and other stuff I feel I don’t need…</p>

4

<p>Uh we normally take around 6 courses per year…it really depends on your specific high school. </p>

<p>and i’m guessing “sth” is something. Not exactly sure…</p>

<p>oh yes it’s something. I didn’t know you don’t use it… So sth is probably used only in dictionaries, or on english language lessons :P</p>
