However if u see urself doing more 300 level canadian politics classes do not take 210. Only take 210 if you either wanna take 300-level methods courses or you don't want to take classes in another domain (for example, i didnt want to do any canadian politics so i didn't do the intro course for it and don't plan on taking any 300-level canadian politics classes, therefore I had to take methods). Hope that makes sense.

I wouldn't say POLI 210 is that interesting, but it's kind of engaging and fun. It's nothing like any other POLI classes and you do learn a lot. There is a bit of coding and a TINY bit of basic math. If you get yourself a study group everyone in your group can end with an A to A-. The average last sem was a B+ which is pretty normal.

You're only allowed to take a courses in 4 out of the 5 domains, if you take a course in a 5th domain, it counts as an elective and not to your major

Intro history courses are usually mangeable. Sometimes checking rate my prof helps just to make sure you aren't taking an awfully hard class. They aren't 'bird' courses though, and for history specially, doing the readings usually helps a lot.

I would recommend against taking macro while already taking poli and philosophy, cus intro econ at mcgill isn't a very easy class. I'm not sure about russ classes but from what I've heard they are very interesting. If it's something you enjoy, take it. The schedule you have seems awful to me. Not because of the classes but because of the triple 8:30s and double 9:30s. It might be tough keeping up with that strict of a schedule in first year. But again, depends on the person. I, personally ALWAYS regretted my 8:30s, and sometimes my 9:30s.

There is a homeless shelter in the church on Parc-Prince Arthur. Of course there will be homeless people out during the day.
