Other Nobody taking my class😭

8 Upvotes

I’m an incoming freshman and I signed up for this first year seminar but it says that only there’s only two people signed up including me😭😭😭should I drop it? I’m worried it’ll get canceled or that a class with TWO people won’t be good.

Academic/Career course schedule questions

1 Upvotes

hello y'all! i'm currently an incoming freshman in SEAS finalizing my schedule. My current schedule is 1410/1400 + 1200 + 1600 + a random language elective. This wouldn't be an issue, but I'm unsure whether I want to major in computer engineering or computer science. Computer Engineering requires physics (and chem) early on so that I can get to the higher level physics courses later during my time at Penn. However, with how difficult the 1200 + 1600 combination is I can't really take more than my current courseload without cooking my gpa. Any advice? Should I not take it with Rajiv and push it to spring?

Academic/Career Biol 1101

1 Upvotes

Hey incoming freshman here who unfortunately didn’t get biol 1101… I was wondering if there are usually openings for this class to swap/add or if generally there isn’t as much movement…

I’m really trying to get biology done in the fall, so if anyone has any advice on potentially taking biol 1121 if there is no more movement pls lemme know - I want to prioritize my gpa above all and I would take chem 1012 but I am taking math 1400 in the fall and I heard cirri was notoriously difficult šŸ™šŸ™šŸ™ thx for the help in advance

Housing Ware College House - Room Furnishing Question

1 Upvotes

Hi Reddit! I will be living in a double in Wilson this fall and am trying to plan for my dorm. I’m flying into Penn so I’m trying to be mindful of what I pack and ship. The residential services website isn’t very clear about which room furnishings the ware rooms have. Does Wilson have under-bed drawers units or a dresser? Any other details about Wilson rooms would be very appreciated!
