>In this seminar we will explore the experiences of undergraduate 
>students at MIT and the psychological underpinning of such 
>experiences,  including transitions from high school, making new 
>friends, dealing with diversity, developing one's identity, forming 
>romantic relationships, finding a major and possible career path, 
>and dealing successfully with stress.  Each week we will cover one 
>topic through discussions, film clips, blogging, exercises involving 
>photography and art, readings, and guest speakers, with one week 
>left open for student presentations.   Throughout the seminar, we 
>will work on developing a 12 unit HASS class out of this material 
>that will look more closely at "the psychology of emerging 
>adulthood", particularly as it applies to MIT students.
