<p>You should quite easily be able to handle 5 classes a term unless you take compsci, physics and some other heavy load classes. I’d encourage you to look completely out of your interest area.</p>
<p>This is a benefit of the lack of distribution requirements: take what you want, find interests and cultivate them. As I noted in another thread, a big purpose in not having standard distribution requirements is so that classes contain motivated students who choose to be there and professors who then want to teach those students. Another purpose is to encourage multiple interests. There are a lot of things going on at UR. Lots of clubs. Lots of ways to get involved in just about anything.</p>
