College Program Timing

[MickeyMouse98]

So, this could be a bit of a ridiculous question, but I'm curious. For those of you who have already completed your CP's, what is the best time during college to go? In terms of Freshman, Sophomore, Junior, or Senior year. I suppose it all depends on your majors and classes, but I still wanted to hear input from people who have gone separate years, and the pros and cons. Thanks a ton!

Junior, cause by that time youl be 21

the courses are all 100 or 200 level. you may stand a better chance for credit with them earlier in your college career depending on your school.

when you get into the 300, 400, or higher level courses, sometimes they are only offered during a specific semester.

my first program I wasn't 21. It wasn't a big deal then and I never felt left out. But PI was also open too and you only had to be 18 to get into most of it. When I returned, I was over 21 and had more stuff to do (like go Downtown).

then you have to consider if you want to do a professional internship too. many require you to have completed a previous CP and be a certain grade level.

you hit the nail on the head when you alluded to depending on the individual. it totally does.

Somewhere between Sophomore and Junior. That way if you liked it you can come back as a CP later in college or apply for a PI when you're in your senior year.

Well, I suppose if the major is the deciding factor, I'm planning on being a business major. I looked up the classes at UT. UNT doesn't give a class list. So I guess i need to plan it out by looking at that. But if anyone is a business major with any advice, help a guy out!
