<p>Bryanilla- I would definitely say that Emory is a place where political activism could and does survive </p>
<p>Seiclan - The laundry rooms are usually on the first floor of every dorm, Longstreet has two laundry rooms because it’s so large, one for the south side and on for the east and north.</p>
<p>Class Registration Advice: </p>
<p>I’ll try not be redundant but a lot of this advice you’ve probably seen in other posts.</p>
<p>1- YES, It may seem weird that you don;t pick your classes until you arrive… just go with the flow on that one. Emory does it so you will be surrounded by experienced students, mentors, and advisers who will be able to help you much more than if you were picking classes at home. </p>
<p>2- Check ClassComments, it’s a conference on learnlink that is like Emory’s own version of RateMyProfessor. Helpful, but at the same time keep in mind that the people who posted obviously felt pretty strongly about the class either one way or another… take it with a grain of salt.</p>
<p>3- I know you all are the top of your high school class and that your incredibly smart and intelligent students… but if we (meaning mentors or advisers or just the random student) say that perhaps a certain schedule you may want to have isn’t the best idea because of it’s extreme difficulty it would probably be in your best interest to listen. This is a whole different ballgame from your AP/IB classes, you don’t want to overload yourself trying to prove yourself and conquer the world, especially freshman year. </p>
<p>4- If you don’t get a GER you need, chill out it’s not the end of the world. Me and my friends always laugh at how foolish we were thinking we NEEDED to have a “HSC” GER first semester to get it out of the way. Turns out a lot of the classes for your major will fulfill GERs so please please please don’t freak out if you don’t have what you need right away… This is more common with freshman seminars. Students freak out thinking they need to finish that GER immediately and want to take it fall semester but they quickly fill up so they end up taking some course they’re not even interested in which of course has the most ridiculous syllabus known to mankind (exaggeration but you get the point.) During registration if I don’t get a class (which isn’t often) my mantra is simply, “there’s always next semester.”</p>
<p>5- Make a back-up schedule, matter fact make multiple back up schedules. Like I said, classes fill up so it’s best to be prepared so you’re not completely lost and end up in a bunch of random classes because you didn’t think ahead.</p>
<p>6- Last but certainly not least, check out the course catalog. You can do that now even, just look for classes that interest you. Freshman year is a year to experiment with classes and major-pathways. Don’t limit yourself to just one field… college is about expanding your horizons, so maybe the social sciences aren’t your thing… check out Racial and Ethnic Relations for an HSC requirement, or maybe you always wanted take an art history class in high school but never had the chance to… sign up for Understanding Architecture and HAP requirement. Ok I’m sounding so cheesy now so I’m gonna stop but you guys get my point haha here’s the course atlas for fall 2012:</p>
