Culpa and Course Load

@ Iggs I can almost guarantee that your easiest courses are going to be chem and bio because they are lecture courses. Lit Hum is probably going to be more time consuming than the rest, and intro latin ( assuming your not latin speaking already ) can probably be an issue as well. Like I said, Core Curriculum is a challenge because the courses are meant for you to discuss with other classmates in the school.So if you want to do well, make friends and take the classes together. Believe it or not, CC and SEAS kids do well in these courses because they live ON campus ( GS students live next to campus, but their peers in the student housing are mostly graduate students…), and thus have plenty of peers to consult with. This can cause a huge dilemma with GS students. But you can certainly make friends with people and take core courses together and form study groups.( this is what I am doing next semester. )

Obviously you can do well without doing this, but why not make life easier on yourself and spare yourself some pain and misery.

When you have your orientation, make LOTS and LOTS of friends. Write everyones phone numbers, and make contacts. Because out of 50 people you meet, probably 5-10 will end up keeping in touch with you on a daily basis.
