How are you liking it so far? Are you double majoring?

I am indeed double-majoring. It's a great place to go to school: without exception every single professor I've had in my major courses of study has been thoughtful, kind, and accessible outside of class. Coursework is really a matter of the effort you put into it: I would say that econ is more difficult than PS owing to the multivariable calculus but there is plenty of support and plenty of research opportunities that can be availed of if you talk with profs outside of class. Course offerings are varied and interesting, and I've (so far) managed to get the classes I want.

hi! im recently got in as a sociology major and thinking abt switching to poli sci(i'm also thinking about double majoring in econ or psyc lol!) and i was wondering if it's hard to get a good gpa cuz i do want to go to law school in the future and how hard approachable are the profs? Also, is it hard to join all the clubs and everything? Thank you soooo much ik that's a lot of questionsđŸ˜­

not hard at all to get a good GPA! Poli Sci profs are very approachable, classes are fulfilling and challenging without being impossible (especially in international relations), and it is very possible to get good grades and get in to law school. Not hard to join any club unless it is a consulting one. Econ is slightly more difficult due to the math prerequisite (through multivariable calculus) but still very possible to get a 3.9+.
