[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I haven't had time to read the full thread. Has anyone yet mentioned course balancing when selecting classes? I don't think I would ever advise a freshman to enroll in four history/econ classes in a single semester. That is rough. And I like reading! Maybe next term, she can pair three heavies with a light-reading class, or a studio class? She should reach out to her advisor ASAP. Of course she will need to work hard at a SLAC, but it shouldn't be misery. [/quote] This is very important! If you are in a semester of only philosophy/history seminars, you'll be banging your head by the end utterly tired of words...everywhere. Same with STEM, where the stress of final exams can realy crack a student down in their first semester. You need to start with balance, because it is difficult to adjust to college work which is more high-impact few assignments compared to high school's low-impact many assignments model.[/quote]
