I'm entering Medical Radiation Sciences in the fall, and i'm currently staring at the long list of electives to choose from.

My question is, should i pick a pair of courses that compliment my area of study, or just pick some that might be fun and or easy. Or an option C, whichever that is.

Any input would be awesome. Thanks.

If I were you, I would pick something fun/easy since it is your first year and you need adjustment. I think courses like natural disasters are fun and easy. You can also take interesting courses like psychology. Looking at your mandatory courses 1st year, I do not think you want to take another course that compliment your area of study since you have 24 units of mandatory courses. This also depends on your future career goals? Are you planning to apply to a professional school? If you are, you might need to take additional courses.

To be quite honest, Professional school isn't on my radar at the moment. I'm happy with the career path at the end of this current program for the time being.

That being said thanks for your other input, I'm trying to limit how overwhelmed i'm going to be. so I'll try to choose something that looks interesting to me.

I would pick classes that look fun and easy. Go onto Mac's website and search the department. Most department have old syllabus to give you an idea of how demanding a course is.
