I was super lost on which classes to take & I was counting on E-Advising for some guidance, but that definitely didn’t happen, haha.

I’m a Freshman at ERC, majoring in Psychology, possibly minoring in Spanish (?).

So far, I have ETHN20, MMW1, PHIL12 & LISP1D.

I have yet to take the math placement exam, so it’s pretty safe to say that I won’t be taking a math my first quarter there. The thing is, I don’t need to take a language because I tested out of it through SAT2s. But I decided that I wanted to continue to learn Spanish & took the placement test to get placed into the 4th quarter of Spanish… and apparently students only need 4 quarters of any language to fulfill the requirement. As in, after I take a quarter of Spanish, I’d be done? Would I be better off taking a new language? If so, I’d be choosing in between ASL and Japanese… Go figure, haha.

Which fine arts should I take? ERC requires me to take 2 quarters of fine art & I can’t say I find the classes too appealing… :)

Is it smart to get started on Regional Specialization my first quarter? Or should I get started on other classes (i.e. math, lang & etc)?
