platypus9- I am trying to remember how it worked first semester. I don’t remember a lot of classes being full, and I am wondering if they save some spaces for first years that don’t show on the hub. They sent me a packet with a whole bunch of info, and I think I had to fill out a sheet and pick something like 10 classes and then they chose 4 of them and slotted them in to my schedule. So it did not feel like I had as much direct choice about which classes I was taking as it did the following semester, but theoretically these were all classes I had picked. My advice is this, pick your seminar carefully, that professor will be your advisor (at least I think that is the case for everyone), so it is good if they teach something you are interested in. Also choose those classes carefully. I remember it felt like a lot to have to pick and I didn’t feel like they were all great, I just got tired of doing it and kind of started to pick throwaway classes, hoping I would get my first choices. But you could end up in any one of them, so try to like them all if you can.

beachmom25-I went to the Multi-sport center mostly to run in cold weather, but yes, there are free weights, and also a squat rack I believe. It seemed to be pretty well stocked and my friends who lift never complained about anything.
