Where can I ask about choosing university courses?

General college-life discussion for broad course-planning questions, plus a clear pointer that school-specific schedules belong on that university’s own community — not on the admissions room.

Course selection questions split across two places. Broad strategy about balancing workload or electives can fit a general college community. Anything tied to a named university’s catalog, professors or registration system belongs on that school’s own subreddit. Admissions and “chance me” posts have a separate room.

  • Do not seek personal gain, crowdfunding or advertising.
  • Do not post content that is uniquely specific to one student, class, school or program when a local campus community would answer better.

Before you post

  • If you can name the university, post in that university’s subreddit — course codes and professors do not transfer.
  • For essays, lists and application strategy, use the existing college-admissions where-to-post page instead.
  • Peer replies are not academic advising; confirm requirements with your registrar or advisor.
