<p>Hi, my s did an IB in History, English and Biology. He is finding he math and science really intense. His mistake was to take higher levels of m&s at UofCh in the first semester. If I could offer some advice it would be to take it slow the first two semesters. It seems easier to go up in levels then to go down. Also, learn quickly in the first two weeks whether the class is at the right level and adjust course quickly. It’s all very hard in the beginning, there are just so many new things to adapt to and one can’t forget all the losses of high school life.
My husband and I love UofC. We have found it to be a thoughtful, caring place as well as an academically rich environment. There is a lot of academic support for my son and resources and communications both for students and parents are excellent.
It’s a great place. While my son would not say he’s having a blast, he wouldn’t want to be any place else.</p>
