There's a phone registration system here where you can call in classes and find out if you've gotten in, but you have to do it pretty quickly. Everyone uses the phone system. A class can fill up in a couple of seconds. There wasn't a lot of hand-holding. I understand that in college we're supposed to be mature, but this was the first thing we were expected to do.
Some people are okay with being thrown into planning their freshman year.
Others, like me, sat and watched those who seemed to have their lives better organized. I should have had a plan before I went to registration. I went there with the idea of picking out some courses and calling them in. It doesn't work that way. You have to know what you want to do.
