<p>I’m a hs senior who will be attending the college of engineering next year. As much as I love academia and hours of study, I wouldn’t mind having some fun as well. Unfortunately from what I’ve gathered, the majority of engineering students are guys. While some male bonding is nothing I can’t handle, I’d really like to get into a class with a female majority, and I just can’t see that happening in engineering 101 or physics 140. (No offense to any women in these classes, but I’m just going with statistics here) Fortunately, it seems that aside from the complete mass of math/science next year, I’ll be able to take a humanities or social sciences class. My question is, which hu or ss courses have the highest concentration of good-looking women?</p>
<p>Um…Probably English…easy English…ummmmmmmm…none of my classes really had many girls or any hot girls in them last year…the closest was probably intro English for me.</p>
<p>By the way, a preview of the summer issue of the Michigan Review:</p>
<p>Don’t Be On Time, Be on Michigan Time
By Michael Kasiborski</p>
<p>Freshman – let me be amongst the
first to welcome you to the University
of Michigan and it’s glorious Ann Arbor
campus. Over your next four, five, or even
six to ten years here (that better include grad
school…), you will discover the wonders that
I, too, eventually found. As a little helping
hand before you embark on your academic
journey, the Review would like to offer you
some friendly advice that you will find very
useful in your first few
weeks.
As you will learn
during Orientation,
“Michigan Time” refers
to the 10-minute spacing
for classes. Hence, a 10
a.m. class really actually
and truly begins at 10:10
a.m., and so on and so
forth. Your first day of
class, however, you will
undoubtedly show up thirty minutes before
your class actually begins. There you will all
be, thirty or so freshman neurotically arriving
early, all staring at your watches in a vacant
Mason Hall hallway, collectively watching
the time tick by. Don’t do it. Michigan
Time means exactly what it says, class starts
10 minutes after its posted time. Get yourself
a little more sleep and save yourself
from staring at a watch for 30 minutes.
When your class actually does start,
there is a strategy to seating yourself. This
rule applies especially, if not exclusively, to
recitations, seminars, and discussions. And
sorry ladies, but this rule is sort of gender
specific, and not for the faint of heart. Gentlemen,
for you I will share the single best
piece of advice I can dispense to help you
get through your boring classes: as you enter
the classroom on the first day, seek out the
hottest girl in your class. Try and be smooth
about it (engineers, therefore, must unfortunately
skip this strategy), and without drawing
much attention to yourself with freshman-
guy clumsiness, sit next to her! Start
talking to her, but not like you’re interviewing
her. Introduce yourself, ask her where’s
she from, where’s she living now, etc. Casually
say something witty about how terrible
dorm food is or how crazy BAMN is – make
her laugh! Seem informed, and seem cool
(because let’s face it, you’re probably not).
This seating strategy doesn’t stop after
the first day though. Even if during your
initial conversation she pulls that “I’ve got
a boyfriend” <strong><em>. Whatever! Don’t let it
phase you (p.s. -most hot girls at Michigan
have boyfriends; if this is not the case, they
must be crazy). You can handle that “boyfriend”
noise because after all - you’re sitting
next to her because you’re a good guy, not
because you’re an </em></strong>* that likes staring
at her chest. What’s more it will totally catch
her off guard in a good way if you ask about
her boyfriend. Ask his name, what he’s like,
yadda yadda yadda. But don’t ask “if he goes
here.” That’s a red flag that you are already
hoping it’s a long-distance relationship that
you can break up. Don’t scare her off and
don’t jeopardize your position as the guy that
sits next to her!
Eventually, your seat next to her will
become your territory. The two of you (or
more if there are other good-looking girls
in your area) will have staked out a claim to
your territory. No one will dare move in on
your space. With this territorial domain, you
can carve out a good group of people to sit
with. Hopefully you have been endearing
them to you over the first few weeks of class
with irreverent remarks about the stupidity
of your GSI, the horrible grade you got on
your last paper (tip: you always do poorly, but
you always are confident enough to laugh it
off – this seems to work), or hilarious comments
about the weird kid in class (disclaimer:
the Review does not condone ripping on
the dorks in your class, but sometimes you
gotta do what you gotta do). As the fun guy
in class that exudes so much machismo that
the hot girl sits next to him, your classmates
will love you! And isn’t that why you’re at
Michigan, for the approval of others?
Where you sit in class tells a lot about
you. And no, I’m not talking about smart
kids sitting in the front, slackers sitting in the
back. You’re at Michigan, everyone sits in
the back. But the really
smart kids sit next to
hot girls. And the really
hot girls sit wherever
they want because
they are hot and do as
the please, so you better
sit next to them. If
this advice seems sexist,
chauvinist, or utterly
insensitive to the
concerns of ugly people
and socially inept
nerds, then you are absolutely correct. But
frankly, those kind of people are so sexually
frustrated that they infer innuendoes from
their engineering homework: you know, the
problem about the tangent line penetrating
the diameter of the circle? Whatever…so
that’s not a real problem–it lacks any sense.
But I was too busy staring at the hot girl I’ve
been sitting next to in my Psychology class
all semester to think of anything intelligent.
Hot girls are sweet. Oh, and the same thing
applies to the ladies for getting guys.</p>
<p>(for more, go to <a href=“http://www.michiganreview.com%5B/url%5D”>www.michiganreview.com</a> … )</p>
<p>Um okay…well I took comm 102 last semester which was not only easy but full of the “sorority girl” type, if thats your thing.</p>
<p>if you want a class filled with girls… history of art classes are the way to go.
you should expect me and my engineering friend to be in there also :]</p>
<p>Looking for some female to stalk eh? jk. I suggest these intro classes, esp. pysch, soc, comm and anthro etc…</p>
<p>I have two hot friends at Michigan right now. One is doing Anthropology. The other is in Pre-Med classes, not sure exactly what major.</p>
<p>yeah, but those intro classes are way too big.</p>
<p>Plus there are lots of ways to meet people besides just classes. Try joining an organization or two that interests you, go to some events. And of course there’s always the library (something about the UGLi being rated as number one place to get a date) or parties. Plus, you have to take social sciences and humanities and all of mine have been about a 50-50 female-male ratio or better.</p>
<p>Michigan has a women’s rubgy team (or at least they used to) and some of them were downright cute when I knew them. If you do anything with the men’s club team, perhaps that’s one way you might meet some females.</p>
<p>thanks for the suggestions guys, this will definitely help next year ;)</p>
<p>Soc and Women’s studies classes.</p>
<p>If you like girls and engineering is your school I would like to direct you to Industrial & Operations Engineering…</p>
<p>haha women’s studies for sure! alot of girls take psych111, but alotta guys take it too so yeahh</p>
