Well hope you enjoy it.
History here was crud, so I finished first year papers and am now taking Classical
History. I bet Sydney will be wat better than where I am. So you should have a really good library.
I expect Ancient History is far more wider than Classical history, or is just the Greeks and Romans?
I would also avis Greek lit, I have found it really fun and helpful. If you did Antigone and Oedipus Rex and the Aeneaid at highscholl (like me) it should also be easy.
I do feel taking History gives you a chance to better understanding than those whom don't, primarily because of you're lecturers, thes guys know loads and their knowldge is wide open to you and far greater than most books you can get at a normal shop. I have spent many hours talking to my lecturers, its very good
Goodluck
Oh but just as an aside, are you majoring in anything else, uh, more practical?
I would advise it.
I taking IR. That coupled with classics I have been told by the head of the Washington School of Political science, is a good mix. Look it up.
