Because UofC tries to make things as difficult as possible
... But yes, my first year was horrible. I didn't know anyone, didn't ask for help, etc. It was baaad. My only suggestion as far as registering for classes is- maybe first year or after second year definitely try and get MWF or Tues/Thur. I'm a history major so I don't have labs or tutorials so I can get away with it. And this is probably just me- don't have breaks in the schedule. I have taken "filler" classes so I don't have an hour break because I will leave. All my schedules are back-to-back classes.
