Survey Time My cousin is looking at CEGEPs for next fall. I told him what I thought it was all about, and what I got out of it, but what about you?
1) Did you go to CEGEP?
2) Where?
3) Where you challenged academically?
4) What about socially?
5) Did CEGEP change what you decided to do in University?
6) rate the CEGEP system on a scale of one to ten
(answer key: 1 = 2(+) years of my life I'll never get back, 5 = High school cont'd 10 = I can feel my mind expanding)
9 comments 1. yes
2. Marianopolis
3. yeah I would say so. But it wasn't too stressful.
4. meh
5. i did health sicences which i liked and i continued in that in university.
6. 7 | | |
If you are arts-minded, I would highly recomend CEGEP Liberal Arts. They force feed you all of the classics of western literature, art, philosophy, history, etc.-- a much better preparation for university than, say, Social Science.
And, for the sake of all things holy, avoid Abbot, unless you are incredibly lazy andd have no ambition. I know otherwise normal people who were so demotivated by Abbot that they failed courses called "Walking" and "Breathing". | | |
1. yes
2. John Abbott (Chris Dye!!!)
3. There was some challenge, I failed Bipedel Locomotion 101 and Eupnea 132.
4. I hung out with King Casey and company, you do the math.
5. It helped me to decide. Prior to CEGEP i was not sure.
6. 7 or 8 depending on program and university. room for improvement. | | |
| Eupnea 132 was hard--I kept getting panic attacks. | | |
"answer key: 1 = 2"
I don't think that's right...maybe CEGEP isn't all its cracked up to be. | | |
2) Dawson
3) In some of the science classes, everything esle was free time
4) I became very socially active. I still take penicillin to prove it.
5) I had no idea before, then it helped me decide by elimination
6) Academically = 4
Socially = 9
Cegepally = 2 | | |
1) Yup!
2) Dawson
3) Yes. I was in Liberal Arts, which is everything Chris Dye suggested, in small classes with really good teachers. Lots of essays, but quite lax about deadlines... I would also suggest (from observation) Dawson's Reflections, which is a way of taking some of your Social Science or Humanities classes as small discussion groups. If they're looking for something really social and different, New School is an option for English and Humanities classes, also discussion group based but much more freeform (the teachers aren't paid, and you grade yourself).
4) You could say :) I joined Dawson Sci-Fi. I met boys! Liberal Arts, as I mentioned, was quite small so I knew many of my classmates, and though I didn't participate, there was a weekly Cock 'n' Bull night, sometimes with the teachers. Possibly too good a social scene...
5) Well, I switched out of Health Science at Dawson, but I did both Liberal Arts and started in Anthropoogy in University as a chance to take interesting, different subjects with no clear path. Only then did I find linguistics... | | |
Whoah, sorry!
6) I really enjoyed my time at Dawson. Keep in mind I went to a small all-girls high school, though. So for me the exposure to new and different people (with penes! ok, that's not the only reason) and ideas and fun and freedom were huge contributors to my enjoyment. Academically, it was quite good, I definitely noticed a difference between Liberal Arts and my outside courses though. | | |
