<p>1) I don’t know. There’s some bus that runs up that way but I can’t remember the name of it and don’t know where exactly/how often it runs. Look for something called “smart ride” or “safe ride” or something like that.</p>
<p>2) The same as any other engineering major. Basic math classes (calc I/II), 1st semester physics, 1st semester chemistry, two english classes, two intro to engineering classes, a couple electives and I think that about sums it up. You can probably go on the MechE website and find a course planner with the required classes for all 4 years.</p>
<p>3) Don’t switch to medicine. First off if you’re finding engineering too hard you’d probably not be up for med school and without med school a degree in pre-med (which is what I think you’re meaning) isn’t worth a whole lot. If you want to switch out look at things like chemistry or bio-chem or something like that; you could still go to med school if you really wanted and would have other options as well. As to when to switch, that’s hard to say. The first year of engineering is pretty easy, so you wouldn’t really know if you can handle it or not until midway through sophomore year. It’s really up to you when/if you want to change.</p>
