how mad are american unis, stay on campus

let me tell you something ur first year will always be ur best year when it comes to grades, cause u just wanna test urself with the subs and and usually put more effort into ur classes

2nd and 3rd year is when u get to comfortable and it really tests ur motivation whether ur keeping ur grades up and or just the type that takes it easy and cruise for passes only and then feel like dropping out....

Math classes give homework.

Non-math classes give reading, often in flowery 18th century language.

Math classes lack any room for personal opinion and discussion.

Not true. Only easy freshman classes with cookie-cutter solutions fit that description. Things like the Godel Incompleteness Theorem, the Axiom of Choice, the Banach-Tarski Paradox, the Continuum Hypothesis, infinity, constructivism, and so on make the picture a lot muddier than is usually acknowledged.

Math classes are unpleasure for hot chicks, therefore if you meet a hot chick in a math class you will only remind her of an unpleasurable experience.

You won't meet a hot chick in a math class, unless you're taking some easy like calc or have a fetish for skinny Asian women. Take art history electives and tell the girls you're majoring in EE to pull A-level strange.

No way; first year is the toughest because (1) you gotta take lots of you don't like and (2) the stuff you do like usually isn't that interesting in freshman level classes that are packaged for mass consumption.

Why do you want to avoid Math classes? I'd rather have Math classes than literature or arts classes

Yeah, me too.

I'll retake TX history over differential equations any day of the week

[TDMVPDPOY]

fck maths classes, go take a finance subject at leasts its half maths and knowledge that will come in handy

[Nbadan]

Seriously, you want a good paying job with job security, major in anything that requires more than CAL1 and CAL2....the babes will come...

If you're talking ODE, that's crazy. If you're talking PDE, then it's fricken blasphemy!

[DJ Mbenga]

Just left and as expected mom got all emotional and dad just told me
to do good .. And now a 4 hour drive

[frodo]

I leave tomorrow and i can honestly say im really nervous just because of the fact that i have to make new friends , im going to be away from home .. Its the first time i will be on my own . I would usually be excited to have a opportunity like this but i dont know i feel nervous .. it was a tough decision i broke up with my girlfriend that I was with all through high school . But now that its almost here im really nervous . Any advice would be in helpful at this point ..

u'll take "advance english" classes in college which will do a world of good for you son. as much as i hate it, study will always be your first duty as long as you are a student tbqh.

you probably shouldn't be on spurstalk and driving at the same time.

just sayin

[frodo]

however you are fooling yourself if you think you can actually learn something useful in college. at the end of college life you will find no gain from the 4yr span, a loan debt of up to hundreds of thousands if anything.

hey...

[daspurs]

So ... My roommate is a laker fan

[ALVAREZ6]

ucf got some bad es though son

why the are you really nervous then?

[Fpoonsie]

Either learn a trade or become resigned to the fact that undergrad is just prep for grad school. Settling with JUST a bachelor's nowadays is practically like earning a 2nd high school diploma.

And just an FYI, "tatto'n" is NOT a lucrative trade...

What are you majoring in?

[daspurs]

What are you majoring in?

Communications

[DeadlyDynasty]

So ... My roommate is a laker fan

He probably pulls some primo snatch, you should hang out together

[DeadlyDynasty]

Communications

I majored in Comm as well, then I became a paramedic/ff

What concentration are you leaning towards? It's not the highest paying degree in the world, and it's also hard to find a good job in...

[200 miles]

Communications

cool

good luck

[ChrisHansen]

isn't BUMP a comm major?

tbh, just round up as many party contacts as possible. That's all I did the first 2 months my freshman year. The rec's a good place to meet people like that.

Also if you're a comm major like me (lol comm major) a lot of your freshman classes require you to work in groups and stuff like that so you should be able to meet people.

Oh yeah, and actually having to put forth effort in school was the biggest adjustment for me
