After a tumultuous registration season created by Bowdoin’s new partnership with Workday, the Harpoon team asked students: What is your class registration method of choice? These were the top 20 answers:
- The old lottery system
- Working for a day
- Staking out the registrar’s office in tents
- Begging professors for a spot in their class (and ultimately attempting to bribe them with whatever college students can afford… ramen?)
- Replying all to a college-wide email
- The bartering system
- A Ticketmaster queue
- Getting drafted by professors a capella style (you have 1 MINUTE to decide)
- Carving a Stone Tablet
- Meyers-Briggs Personality Test
- Interpretive Dance Competition
- Peucinian style debate brackets
- Messenger pigeon
- Sexting the Dean
- Whoever can survive a season of The White Lotus
- Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders Auditions
- Timothée Chalamet look-a-like contest
- Ayahuasca
- Hunger Games-style fight to the death
- The Electoral College
