<p>Darn! I just wrote a long response that disappeared.
Here goes again-</p>
<p>Renee, who is teaching intro to IR next semester?
Whatever you do, do NOT do what I did my first semester; don’t take both intro to IR and principles of economics (ec 5) your first semester at Tufts. It was quite painful. Also don’t take Ec 5 with Richards. I would recommend taking both courses your freshman year, though, one each semester. Which you take when should be entirely based on who is teaching them. Who is teaching Ec 5 next semester? I don’t have time to look it up right now but look up the profs on Jumboreviews.com or post them here and I’ll tell you what I know about them.</p>
<p>Other courses you might want to take are ones that will fulfill some of your general distribution requirements. The requirements can be found here:

<p>Renee’s totally right, though; IR is a super-broad major so you have lots of options. Plus, your advisor and peer advisors will help you with all of this during orientation =)</p>
