Good Morning and Happy Thursday!
My parents love to tell me how different college was back in their day. The biggest difference (other than the cost, size and general demographics) seems to be registration.
Instead of the internet system we have now, my mother would walk to a window where a man behind glass would tell her what she should take. She always took a full schedule and ended up with a history degree.
Her greatest frustration is that she was apparently two classes away from an English double major. Two! The window guy never said anything. Rude. I guess the Tar Heel Tracker isn't so bad after all.
UNC's English department would never let that slide as their new initiative encourages English as a second major and adds seven new concentrations.
