Don't let your friend's decision affect your perception of HumCore. He doesn't want to take it because he wants to get easy As to boost his GPA. But if you want to take HumCore because it seems interesting, then you should take it. Don't worry, it's really not that bad! Look at the soompi-ers in here who are still taking it. We're alive and kickin' hahaha
BY THE WAY!! This is slightly irrelevant, but save this link: http://www.ocf.berkeley.edu/~mlyang/scheduler/
It'll come in VERY HANDY when you plan out your quarterly class schedule.

Yeah, don't let HumCore scare you. Cause the kid you know is dumb for thinking that WR39 is an easy A. You can LOL at him later on when he starts to receive C- papers like 80% of the class will, or LOL at him when he gets B- for working his tail off ^____^.
LOL. 39C was def not an easy A or an A at all. I think HC and 39 are both pretty hard. But I found that most of my friends who took HumCore got B+/A-. They explained to me that although the work is hard, the grade seemed to actually match their effort... unlike 39C T___T.
Whatever... they're both hard in their own special, hideous, strenuous, stressing ways. hehe.
But in the end, HumCore is able to cover 2 breadth subjects rather than just the writing portion. :[ I should've taken HumCore. Someone rewind my year to the beginning so I can switch into HUmCore.

^ UCI's bigger than UCLA? O_O I really feel like we're spoiled on this small campus. Since all the buildings are built closely around a circle path, everything seems very close! But yes, the ARC is very far x_X
^ what??? uci is definitely not small! maybe im not used to it..but when i went there to visit..it was SO tiring walking around. and the ARC is sooo far away >_<
ok i have another question. my pre-calc class at my nearby community college is over and unfortunately i didnt pass the class. >_< i had to juggle my regular school schedule with the night class and i missed many class sessions. ah, the college class was so easy though! im sad =[. but the teacher didnt make up go to class or do any hw. there were like 10 kids in my class. WELL..my question is...do i HAVE to send in my grade from the class? cause its an F...and that looks so bad. im going to take precalc in the summer at the same community college or at uci's summer bridge program. i rather take it at uci though...but i dont know if im going to get picked. so yea...do i have to send in that grade? cause i know im sending in my high school transcript. will the UCs know if i took another class somewhere else? ah, this is so stressful. lol
My tour guide told me that it averaged about 40-50 students per building. I guess the overpopulation of freshmen totally went overboard.
