Intro here?

Hi, I'm Mollie. I was accepted to the freshman class of 2013. Haven't visited it yet. I thought I was gonna major in poli sci but I'm not sure now. (Does anyone have any experience with that major? I'm looking for a urban/social/public policy focus, not just boring old American Govt courses.) I've been looking for a CCNY lj community for a while, and it's unfortunate that this is all that I found (but thanks for the effort). This isn't representative of the school, is it? I'm really curious about the school environment and everything, but I guess I'll find out on the 15th when I take my tour and the 14th when I stop by for my placement test. =)

Hello Mollie,

Congrats on the acceptance! Unfortunately, I have no experience with the polisci major as I'm doing Engineering at CCNY but I believe a friend of mine is doing international studies and might be of help regarding some of the classes. She took a FIQWS Poli Sci introductory course and loved it.

I'm sure you've already accessed this link but here's a list of courses that political science majors have to take

The faculty seems really good and there are two distinguished professors (make sure you get to know them better ;P)

The school environment is pretty good. People are nice, there are a variety of clubs to join (including history and Model UN which might be of interest to you).

Sorry I couldn't really help but I hope everything goes well.

Hey, thanks a lot. I'm reconsidering the poli sci major lol. I'll be at CCNY for the first time tomorrow and Wednesday. Would you say there is quite a bit of political activism? I'm getting more and more excited to go to CCNY, I hope I'm not let down. Thanks =)
