            I have two questions... One: Does the theatre department accept play scripts from students to be produced? Two: What is the criteria for students to participate on the campus radio station?
            • 383
              First, yes, our theatre department does accept play scripts from students. We even have the fall and spring one-acts, which are completely written and directed by students. Secondly, anybody can be a part of the campus radio station.

            How big are the average class sizes for your Economics programs? Aside from your core maths and English, more like econometrics, macro, micro, etc. And I've heard that Stonebraker is an amazing professor, would I be allowed to request for her class? Regarding dorms, which would you say are the more socially active dorms? Also which of your dorms would you recommend comfort-wise for underclassmen? I've heard from collegeprowler.com that some of the dorms loose air conditioning, have nasty carpeting, and have noise interruptions from surrounding construction. Is this true and if so which dorms would these be? Thank you!

              Are average class size is 22 students, but they get smaller as you get more into your major. Each student is responsible for setting his/her own schedule, so you would be able to decide which professor to take. The more active residence halls are probably Wofford and Richardson since they are hall-style, which leads to a more social atmosphere. I am not sure about the issues, but they have all been recently updated, and we are currently in nearing the end of a 2-year renovation for Phelps Hall.

            Which would be a better choice in major: Fine Arts Photography or Commercial Photography?
            • 1694
              Fine Arts Photography is taking photographs for the sake of art, and hopefull selling them as art. Commercial photography is taking pictures for magazines or other clients. So, it depends on what you are interested in doing.
