Classics involves
long hours of
schlepping through endless
Caesar and
Martial and
Herodotus and (if you go to a
Christian university) some
New Testament. Fall behind and get
snowballed with work.
Students usually choose a Classics major after completion of intermediate
Latin and
Greek language courses. I strongly suggest completion of intermediate courses
before delving into the advanced stuff. Make absolutely sure you master slower placed work. I did not heed this
sage advice, and plunged into studies without the strongest
footing.
Classics departments commonly have excellent
student-teacher ratios (4:1, 6:1) instead of massive
Psychology lecture halls. Professors are very accessible and frequently give
tutorials. Since the departments are small, many times great
Christmas parties and what not transpire.
