[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At Amherst, freshmen don't register until they arrive on campus. Strange system, guess we'll see how it goes![/quote]

[b]This is why people go to SLACs. [/b]They may not have as many course offerings as other schools, but they generally don't have all these issues with students not being able to get classes they want or need...there isn't too much variation from term to term in how many kids will register for a class so the colleges know how many sections of a class they need to offer, and the campuses are flexible enough that they don't have to book every classroom space and lab every minute of the day so you don't end up with a schedule at all hours of the day to be able to fit everything in.

Several posters with kids at state universities have said their kids had a seamless experience meeting with their advisors and choosing classes.  And others - with kids at SLACS - have said it was a nightmare to choose classes.  Might not want to generalize...
