Well, this is a sum of the type of classes required for me, as far as my liberal arts classes go. This doesn't include all the music, education, and psychology classes I need to take. Overall, I need 131 credits to graduate. Stupid Music Education.

English Communication: 6 credits(3 must be in a writing course; the other 3 may be in another writing course at the 200 level or higher or may be selected from the general communication courses)

Fine Arts and Literature: 6 credits(3 in Fine Arts; 3 in Literature)

Foreign Language/Cross-Cultural Competence:

• Two-course sequence in a language not previously studied (or studied for less than two years in high school) through the beginning level (101, 102)

Letters: 6 credits

Mathematical and Quantitative Reasoning: 3 credits

Natural Sciences: 6 credits

Social Sciences: 6 credits
Seems like an awful lot. Is it? I really don't know what to expect in college! And hahaha, Hsu, isn't you and rubah's college the only college to have Underwater Basket Weaving as a major? That's amazing. xD
meh 131 credits isn't as much as you think. After 3 years I had about that many, and no particular major

Classes you should expect? Well firstly, most classes are either MWF for 50 minutes, or T Th for 1:15. That way they're both a total 2:30 a week.

You'll be taking intro courses, and they'll be the biggest ones you'll take your entire college career. Expect classes to get smaller, and teachers to get more personal as you progress. It may suck at first having such a large class. I would suggest introducing yourself to your teachers, and talking with them on occasion.

Also, here at Virginia Tech, I find the larger courses to be taught by teachers that don't really want to teach that large a class. Some enjoy it, but don't be surprised if you get some teachers who are strictly business, there just because they have to, and are far less enjoyable than others.
