Freshmen - What is your class schedule?

First term freshmen don’t get a huge amount of options in choosing what they take, generally.

All freshmen are required to take introductory calculus, chemistry, and physics, unless they place out of one of them. In addition to this, they’re heavily encouraged to take a PE class (we require a year of PE for graduation) and a humanities class (we require four years of humanities/social science for graduation). This leaves room for one more class; I’d estimate a third of students take introductory programming, and probably another third take one of the required lab courses. The rest either leave the spot empty or take a course related to their major.
