Hi,

I live in Canada and I am going into first year science
(Biology101,Chemistry121,Math154) and I was wondering if anybody has any suggestion of things for me to read in preparation for university, like topics to focuss on.

Thanks

First off, congrats on going to university. Second, what school are you going to?

Really, all you should need to do before you get there, if anything, is review what you already know. You'll get an outline on the first day about what you're going to cover in the lectures, so if you're really keen, you cna read ahead in the text.

Some profs will have course notes that they use, which gives you the infromation that you need to know, since they don't always use the entire textbook. Unless you give more info about the courses (All we know is that they're intro courses, but beyond that, nothing), that's all I can really give you to go on.

Thanks ... I'm going to Simon Frasrer University. I already read the online course outline, but it didnt help. I just thought coming on a forum full of experienced student would be able to tell me what material to focus on.

I actually know a graduate student in Chemistry at SFU. Send me a message if you want me to forward her contact info to you. She could probably give you a better introduction to the Chemistry aspect at SFU than any of us here.
