Maaaath

So i took the math part of the THEA..I walked to the classrooms and it wasn't how I expected it to look..the hallways were regular (though small), the classroom was regular..so what was I expecting? I guess I was expecting the classroom to have seats above each other (think stadium seats). Are colleges even like that, or have I seen too many movies?

I got my Latin AP test score back..baaaad haha

Today's Latin: natura appetit perfectum (nature covets perfection)

Some universities are, especially for your gen-ed requirements (the 100-level classes.) But if you're at a community college, most likely not.

Heck, even in undergrad I was only in a stadium-like classroom once, and that was for my Buddhism class.

College classrooms can vary. Oh, can they vary. It's when you come across secret auditoria in buildings known for trying to fit 40 students in a room whose max capacity is 20 that you should start to worry. I kid you not - one day I opened just another beat-up wooden door in the basement and FOOM - giant auditorium with working air conditioning?? How long had that been there? How do you install an underground auditorium and not have anyone notice?!

From what I understand, no one does well on Latin placement tests. Don't worry - you'll be fine. ^_^

They can vary. The Art Institute of Seattle had regular looking class rooms. Well, except for the various audio and video studios. Those had steps in the back of the room which the class sat on during the two hours.

it really depends on the college...I know there's one room like that (that you were expecting) at mom's old college and the rest are pretty much like highschool lol but the classroom type shouldn't matter all that much anyways

Since Rutgers has approximately 28,000 students on the New Brunswick campus, many of their classes had stadium seating...most of my Psychology classes were in stadium seating classrooms, because Psych was one of the more popular majors within the school. For History, though, most of my classes were held in "regular" classrooms (still lots of people in the classes, though, Rutgers is a pretty massive school). However, since Monmouth only has 6,000 students, I have yet to see a stadium seating classroom on campus yet that is not one of the theaters.

So yeah! I guess it does just vary on each school and perhaps the amount of people who attend said school.
