University Options

[Skyve]

HEY SRF.

So finally got an e-mail from the Unis where I've applied and they want me to start planning my schedule (I've already been accepted pre-conditionally)

I'm currently registered for a B.Science ; Biological Sciences. There's 5 courses in both my semesters. Three out of the 5 courses are already chosen (Bio, Math, Chem). I get a little more liberty for my two other courses.

For the first optional slot, I have to choose between Comp.Sci, Geology and Physics. Geology seems meh. Currently taking Physics in High-School and although I'm not a natural at it the subject is quite interesting (we just got into quantum theory, string theory, standard model, etc). Never did Comp.Sci but seems interesting.

What would you choose between Physics, Geology and Comp.Sci? Share your personal experience, opinions, etc.

As for my other optional slot, I can take any non-science Option. This is actually bothering me because there's 100+ optional courses and I can't choose one that seems fairly easy to boost my average but still interesting.

I feel like learning a language is kind of "heavy". I wouldn't want my optional courses to distract me too much from my main courses (if that made sense). Then again, Intro courses to these languages can't be too hard I guess.

Psychology is the default interesting but easy course. I'm a comp sci double major so I'm biased but comp sci is really interesting, a lot of people find it hard though (I don't, I personally think it's the easiest discipline in my engineering school, but again I'm biased)

Womens studies

[Fury]

Yea womens or romance studies for sure

So uhm... what is Comp.Sci? Excel worksheet and Word doc editing?

Womens studies

Saw that too lol. Bet it's filled with chicks complaining that everything told in that class isn't true.

Take gen ed courses until you have your own advisor for your major.

Computer science*

A lot of people say philosophy and it's true that it's usually easy but there's a lot of reading.

Womens studies

Nay. Why would women be in a class to study themselves?

A language is something that's very fun, will be interesting to do, is something to add to your resume and it'll always be something interesting about you.
I think you're overestimating the difficulty of taking some language classes. If it's a beginner course it really can't be hard. Just remember how easy high school French was at the start, it's not going to be much harder.

For me personally the Roman and Greek studies caught my eye. I love ancient mythology and have always been a sucker for the tales of power, deceit and deception in ancient Rome. I'm not sure what the course entails, but it may be pretty interesting if you like the ancient times (or Age of Empires )

Well french being my first language, I passed the course with 98% + government request to use my final essay as an example for future years, trolololol. I see your point though, guess german would be interesting.
