@Whatsfairanyway,
Welcome Whatsfairanyway!
As you can see, GoodVibes7 is just following the rules? which I guess is unusual for him.
But anyway, welcome to the forum!
I'm sure you'll enjoy those philosophy courses. I remember that when I was a freshman, we had to take "survey" courses to "broaden" our horizons. It was actually one of those courses that influenced me to get a philosophy degree. What type of courses do you have to take?
But anyway, look around. A good place to start is the general discussion area to get an idea of what the dialog is like on the forum. If you have any thoughts (philosophical or not) of your own you want to hash out or questions raised in one of your classes, start up a new thread in the respective area. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask.
Have a blast!
