Like another commenter said, there's a LOT of math involved and you're expected to be comfortable with many mathematical tricks to solve problems. The good thing is that in your second year and beyond, the content from previous lectures will be often be reviewed and/or simplified so you can focus on the new stuff.

As for going from a high school level math background to an engineering one, there's 4 mandatory math courses everyone has to take to aquire the necessary math toolbox for upper years. As an example, MATH 211 in your first year teaches you linear algebra as well as complex numbers. If you go into EE, those two topics will be the bulk of the math you do going forward.

My method for staying on top of everything is to write out the due dates in chronological order for EVERYTHING in a checklist on my notes app. Then I just check stuff off one by one, making sure to try and get the bulk of stuff done well before the due date.

I took some of the courses for it and really enjoyed them, and there are some good coop/entry level opportunities and the material is engaging. [...]

4th year law and society student here.

1. As has been said the degree is not designed to get you into law school. Any degrees works for that (generally). The LSAT needs reading comprehension more than any knowledge from a degree.

2. Obvious club is the law and society club as being engaged on campus is cool (and can be hard to be). More than clubs is try and make friends in your core class as those are the people you will see for next 4 years.

3. Expect a lot of note taking and professors not posting slides. If you can, take a class with McCoy he is really good.

4. In terms of the actual class content it varies a lot per year. For me first year was introduction and legal history. Second year was, constitutional law and a more general class about law and culture. Third year was, legal research methods, liberalism and another class I think I have repressed as I forget its name.

5. I enjoy my degree but it's a lot of technical and sometimes boring reading. Like any degree, some core classes are fun while some you just have to do. Also, a lot of your degree is spent in option and context classes. There is normally only one lwso class a semester, so that usually means 3-4 options. I often see other lwso students sociology and political science classes.

TLDR: degrees cool if you can mentally handle all the readings. Degree does not get you into law school more than any other degree. Also gpa matters. Ucalgary laws school students have an average of 3.6 / 4.0
