Agreed that if I stayed in the US I would skip the foreign language, but as I said, it is also to help get me back into the swing of things. 2 core classes and 1 fuck around class. I haven't been in school since early 2002. I need to ease into it rather than jump right into 4 core classes.
No way. Just dive right in.

For sure. And if it is your first semester all of those classes are pretty much blow off easy classes.

Totally. 101 and 102 classes at most. If you dive right in you wont have to worry about having to double the work load later. It'll be more consistent.

yeah, i have to agree somewhat. they are definitely good courses to take to ease back into a school sched after 7 yrs off. however, "math" is a very general term for a course needed for mechanical engineering. i would hope that the subtitle of that course is "calculus 1" or higher. otherwise you have a long way to go.

Yeah at worst for an engineer you'd be looking at Calculus II, Gen Chem, Physics, and english or some shit like that, maybe a frosh engineering course.

Even if you're not in Cal 1 or higher don't let that discourage you. I transferred colleges twice before I committed to chemistry. I had Cal 1 from UIW in high school, but something about being more than three years bullshit they made me start from the beginning at Algebra, so just do whatever you have to do.

They should have let you take some sort of placement test, shouldn't they?

Stop typing. Please.

False. They test up to Calc 1.

edit//I read that wrong. The community colleges here test up to Calc 1.

Maybe now where you are they do. But I remember talking to the math department and the advisors trying to get higher than algebra, but they wouldn't do it because my SAT and ACT scores were too old.

lol I am hoping once I get this first semester done, I can just jump ahead to a higher math. I forgot so much stuff it is unreal.

THIS. THREAD. DELIVERED!!!!!!

high five c0r, high five.

BENJAMIN!

Wise choice on German. its an easy language to learn. i took it for three years in high school and then lived in germany as part of an exchange program for a month. its an awesome country; and as long as you actually do try to speak their language, they will be your friends and end up speaking english to you (at least, the younger crowd will, the older ones working at the u-bahn stations will not, LOL).

plus it will help get those easy credits up for financial aid. even if its just to get loan money, that's better than no money.

I took my time with college. did it in 5 years. i got to do a full four years of ROTC and complete a published thesis. and i did it without having 21 credits a semester and freaking out like everyone who tried to cram in 4 or less years.

while i was writing my thesis, i was taking racquetball and bowling. it was awesome.
