What are you thinking of majoring in? In some majors (like physics) it’s smart to get started early, whereas in other majors (most humanities majors, or other majors with more flexibility) it’s not necessary. If one of the majors you’re considering has virtually no electives, courses that are offered only once a quarter, and courses that have prereqs that require you to take classes in a particular order, then you might want to take some classes for that major early in your Stanford career. Otherwise take classes that interest you. I highly encourage you to consider introductory seminars. Feel free to shop various classes and see which profs/classes interest you most.
