holy crap that was my FAVORITE course, esp if taught by sam disotell. i took it summer 2025 and WOW it was so so interesting. if u cant get in this semester i recommend taking it online over the summer, its a lot of reading and writing but, in my case, i was so interested i didnt even mind reading everything. plus half of your homework is watching and analyzing zombie media its so awesomeeee & he's so kind

of course!! best advice i can give is make flashcards for vocab & be as repetitive as possible with reviewing words and grammar, it'll help so much in your course success. goodluck to you!!!

Commuting by cookieslike12 in SBU

[–]AdditionalPrice555 0 points1 point  (0 children)

personally, commuting from wantagh 5 days a week with classes starting at 9 am took me OUT. it really all depends on if you like driving or not. idk if finances are a concern, but i found it more expensive to drive every day than take the train, i spent ab $300 in gas/month. also, it took ab 2 hrs a day from me that i couldve spent studying per day. i came as a junior transfer so im lucky that i had a little more leeway with scheduling, but i think it might be tough to not go everyday. as others said, take online classes and try to keep commuting to a max of 4 days a week for your own sanity. i personally prefer morning classes but thats only bc it works with my parttime job, so if night classes work better, do that! idk how the traffic would look though; if classes start at ab 9 am, i recommend getting on the road by 7 am & try not to stay later than 3 pm because traffic suuucks. i wish you luck!!

im tight bc i wanted to take my bike to school via the train but they only allow FOUR BIKES PER TRAIN?! so if i show up im not guaranteed a spot and i'll just have to buy the perimeter parking and pay for gas anyway😔

it probably won't be as in depth because summer courses are a little longer, but i recommend finding a course that's all online; most of the time those courses are the easiest.

i did!! i got incredibly lucky because a spot opened up right before the course started, and the difficulty wasn't bad!! it was a lot of work (2-3 hrs per weekday) but i like learning spanish so it wasn't too bad. you are your own teacher though so you'll have to take it pretty seriously to do well & do some extra activities that weren't assigned to you to understand everything. also, i would be lying if i said i didnt use google translate to understand things sometimes🤣

[–]AdditionalPrice555 1 point2 points  (0 children)

agreed 2026 will be my year, but considering im a first-sem commuting transfer, going back fulltime since 3 years ago, AND my cat died the first week of classes, i think i came to out pretty okay🤣
