Taking Russian classes in college

[arian-archer.livejournal.com]

I studied Russian for 5 and a half years between middle school and high school so I would say I am relatively adept at the language (Not fluent mind you, but I know enough to get around). It's been about three years since I took my last Russian class, the college that I attended from 2003-2005 didn't offer any classes in Russian and now that I am going to a school (as a non-degree student so prerequisites aren't necessarily a factor) that does I'm wondering how advanced a course I should be taking. I still remember a lot of the fundamentals, verb conjugation and most of the cases, so should I go for the easy A and take a relatively beginning class to refresh or throw myself back into the language full force and take a class that's probably closer to where I left off after high school?

I know my school has language placement tests that are required in some language departments (such as Spanish) and just available for people just like you in smaller departments (such as Russian). Contact your advisor and see if your school has one of these tests for Russian. Otherwise, try arranging a meeting with a department head of the russian department.
