Just had the Clemson orientation. It was full of information that was great for someone who had only been in college for maybe a year, and for someone who planned on staying on campus. :) But I did get some good info, although Eric attended the "Parents" portion (LOL) and it seems he learned things that would have been great for me to know (financial aid, co-op stuff, etc.)! Sigh.
I did find out one GREAT thing. There are two freshman classes that I haven't had yet, or at least the classes I've taken so far won't transfer directly, so because of that, my status is "freshman" AND I can't really declare a major. Apparently Clemson has a sort of weed-out process where they place all engineering students into a "general engineering" degree, and they won't change it (in my case, to environmental engineering) until you've proven yourself in the first year. Anyway, I learned today that because of the plethora of computer classes I've taken, they've found a way to consider those as transfer credits. SO, my status is now "sophomore" and I get to declare my major. WOOT! I'm thrilled. I'm so sick of taking intro classes!
