Going into Freshman year of college, need help picking classes?

Most people who take psychology take general psychology their freshman year. At least 3 credit hours of a social/behavioral science regardless of what college you go to is required to be taken as one of the general education requirements. Because general psychology is not only easy and interesting but will fulfill this general ed requirement, I highly suggest taking this course.

I also recommend taking a creative writing course -- even if you already embody good writing skills, you could make them even better. The more developed your writing skills are, the easier writing papers in college will be. Not to mention, you will have to write a lot of papers considering you'll be an English major.

College academic advisors recommend you take no more than 15 credits (5 courses) per semester so keep this in mind when signing up for your classes.

As for your other classes, I recommend choosing a public speaking course to get that out of the way. The rest is up to you.

yes.

assuming you're in the US, please look at RateMyProfessors.com

you will save your sanity

I didn't know this existed until halfway through my first semester and my prof for social science was absolutely terrible ~____~

if you intend on transferring (I assume you do), you need to make sure the classes will transfer to the desire 4-year. Most basic courses will transfer over, but there are a select few that may not be recognized by the university.
