<p>I was literally about to get onto CC to ask the same question, but then I saw yours.</p>
<p>I want to major in economics or public policy, but I really love philosophy and history too. SLE sounds like something I’d be really interested in doing. What concerns me is the fact that it’s both a residential and an educational program. I’m a pretty social kid, and I don’t mean this offensively, but I’m concerned that the people who are in SLE are all kinda nerdy-- or at least not as social as the people in the all-freshman dorms. I think I want a more “social” dorm than what SLE offers. That said, the educational aspect of it sounds really intriguing! Also, nothing “jumped out” at me in the IHUM catalogue-- there weren’t any classes which I feel really excited me. I’m pretty sure I’d prefer SLE from the educational aspect but not a residential aspect. What I really wish is that you could live in an all-frosh dorm and still do SLE-- but sadly you can’t.</p>
<p>Anyhow, I’m deliberating on this one too. I think I’m leaning away from SLE at the moment, but who knows. I’d really like some people to comment on this who have already been in SLE (or not) and give us some feedback. Good luck with your decision…see you in the fall!</p>
