<p>Our DS is required by the military to take 3 semesters of foreign language. His 1st choice was Persian, 2nd was Chinese, 3rd Russian, he was unable to get into any of those classes and had to go to German. Kokeshi is correct language majors get to choose 1st and since there aren’t alot of classes they fill up quickly. DS even waited until his soph yr to start hoping his number would be high enough to get in, the fact is that there are many others who also try to slide in that way and even as a soph the intro classes fill up quickly because those who are in that major get preference.</p>
