Misc College Students - Page 2

**Dunit35** · 08-18-2008, 11:49 AM

So, classes started today here at nwosu. What kind of classes are the college students on here enrolled in? How many hours you taking? How long are you on campus for them?

I'm enrolled in 16 going M,W,F 8-12 with a 3 hr night class and a 2 hour thursday lab.

I have General Biology and lab, Middle Ages, American Colonial Period, Police Trafficing and Enforcement, and a 3 hour general humanities class.

Don't know anything about humanities, is it a type of art history class? The book for it is 180 bucks. Everything else was a lot cheaper. My sister spent well over 700 on her books.

I would've been done probably a year ago or so if i never got sick and had to miss a year. It sucks but keep working your ass off and you'll get done.

Sounds like shes a keeper. I wish I could take more classes but 16 is the most I've ever taken. History classes with these professors are fairly easy as long as you take notes in class and study for the tests.

Yeah, she has a ton of ambition and backs it up, i wish i wasn't so damn lazy i might be like her. She currently makes more dough than me, i could see her being a CEO or something in the future. I wish classes were that easy, i take a shit ton of notes on cpu and accounting but its so damn BORING....it's hard for me to stay interested. I've wanted to do CPU related work just because the money is there. I hope someday i can get a job related to sports or movies with my cpu background. My gf say's i should try to get on with ESPN (not in front of the camera) but behind the scenes shit.

What is your major? History i assume?

I just got home from buying books, and was going to start a rant thread about the cost....looks like I don't have it nearly as bad as some of you. $509 for 5 books.

I'm still working on core classes, and am taking 15 credit hours - MFW from 8am-11am, then a 1 hour break, then classes from Noon-2pm. Completely off on Tuesday/Thursday.

I took all my "fun" classes early, which is becoming quite the PITA now - stuck with a math class, Art Appreciation, Sociology, Astronomy and a Logic course. Neither of the 2 EDU classes I needed were offered this semester - that kinda screwed me as well.

I'm dropping down to part-time work while I'm in class, and am applying for an internship with one of the local professional sports franchises this week - my wife has a good friend on the inside - hope it helps - I'd kill to get my foot in the door. I actually need to start a thread on creating a kick ass cover letter....I've been lucky enough to not have to do it recently.

Any suggestions before I crank out a new thread?

I typically don't require books for many of my courses.

I did the same thing you did, I took all the fun classes first, Now I am stuck with the crap I could care less about. But hey I will be done in the spring of 2009!

**chasedude** · 08-18-2008, 12:12 PM

I remember spending up to $200 the most in the early 90's for books, wow they have really shot up in price.

Pablo · 08-18-2008, 12:13 PM

Public Finance
Money and Banking
American Foreign Policy
Art History

Two more semesters and a few more Economic classes and I'm fucking done son.

Cannot wait.

And I haven't bought a book in like 5 semesters. Most profs do everything off of powerpoint, and the book is just a study tool, and while helpful, isn't necessary.
