There are hundreds of classes in the College of Agriculture Sciences, not to mention all of the ones outside of the College of Ag, how do we choose!? Waiting by your computer starting at 11:50pm, before you rapidly log into elion at 11:59pm to choose all the classes you’ve been planning to take. Sometimes it is stressful. Thanks to some graduates and upper class men, we have a few suggestions for you! Check out what some of our students say! Class of 2018 and 2019, this one is for you! Stay tuned for more throughout the semester! Thank you to Mason, Deanna and Sarabeth for sharing this week!

What was your favorite class in the College of Agriculture?
Soils 102
Description:This lab, which meets once a week, complements the required Soils 101 lecture. It is very interesting and very relevant.
