i think in the field of linguistics or classics if u r into the traditional stuff go for waxler courses in comparative linguistics or german. in general the courses are very friendly n the teachers a lot open, but mind the knowledge of hebrew even if the course is taught in english, even though almost no readings in hebrew are given at all. interesting stuff for people into theory of optimality and for people into classics definitely take the greek syntax with professor finkelberg but still mind your hebrew, it's quite hard to get along in this courses even though a very very very fluent english and a fair german would be the most helpful thing in the world. and don't forget to go and see the BA/MA counselors once in a while, they r really friendly n helpful. and don't trust when they tell u to take a beginner's course in anything, there's no such thing as beginner's courses... the level is dammit high and they'll screw u to the end, so then before you take a beginner's course take some months to read a lot about the subject and meet up with the lecturer before u decide on anything.
