<p>hello. im in the honors thingamagig. i need to pick a seminar.
should i do collegiate or freshman? does it matter? which is harder?
it seems collegiate you bond with the professor and stuff. but iyo. which is better?</p>
<p>i like the classes in the freshman seminar a little more.</p>
<p>im gonna major in math and civil engineering. xp.</p>
<p>also. i dont really like volunteering. well the traditional definition. i do volunteering my own way… should i do the deans honor corp thingy.</p>
<p>The official volunteer group functions mainly as a listserve, where you can sign up to receive emails of volunteer opportunities to work on. They also help you get a good volunteer job through their vast network of connections. Honestly, if you don’t like traditional volunteering (I’m not really sure what that means, but ok), you can do your own thing and just make sure it adds up to the required hours (15+, I believe). You’ll have to write an essay about what you did, so make sure it’s substantive. And since NYC has a LOT of different and interesting volunteer opportunities, don’t rule out working with an established program.</p>
<p>I’m not sure what the collegiate seminar is, but I took a Freshman Honors Seminar, and you’ll get to bond with the professor as well, since the classes are really small. Honestly, since it’s overall a class that doesn’t count for anything beyond your GPA, I’d suggest taking whatever seems most interesting to you, even if it has nothing to do with your intended major. You won’t have too many chances to think far outside your constructed box, so capitalize on the opportunity to do so now, particularly with a respected professor in a small class setting.</p>
