Career questions tagged freshmanyear
For my freshman year, should I take AP Precalc AB or BC? If BC, should I take Multivariable Calc & Lin Alg or just AP Stats for my junior year? If I take AB, that means I will most likely take Calc BC in 11th grade, which doesn't sound too appealing. The idea is if I'm taking BC, I could directly go on to Calc BC for sophomore year, so I could have my 11th grade year easier and just take AP Stats instead. However, I'm just worried it will be too much to handle.

How do I make good friends with other engineering majors
My name is Theo, and I'm going into my freshman year at Cal Poly soon. I'm going into college with almost all of my general education done. So I'll be going into my major courses straight away in college. I know that engineers are less social than your average person, myself included. I was just wondering how I can make friends with them, because I'm a little nervous as to how to do so. Do I just walk up to whoever sits next to me in class? What if they turn out not to be a good person? I'd also like to make friends with other majors, but I'm going to be around engineering majors most of the time, so I'm not sure.
