<p>Probably stupid questions, but here it goes.</p>
<p>1.) Do most people take three to four 5-unit classes per quarter?
2.) Would it be okay to take--in your first semester of freshman year--3 Arts GE's? Or do you have to spread it out among categories at all?</p>
<ol>
<li>Most people take three to four classes, usually a mix of 4-5 unit classes. Most take approximately 16 units/quarter</li>
<li>Why would you take 3 Arts GE’s. Look at the GE requirements. I don’t think you even need three arts requirements.</li>
</ol>
<p>1.) Okay, gotcha! 
2.) I’m taking about “Foundations of Arts and Humanties” GE’s when I say that. You need one from each subgroup, so that’s what I meant. Would it be okay to get all of those three done in one quarter?</p>
<p>It would be ok to get them all done, but it may not be the best idea. If you think they’ll be easy you might want to spread them out a bit so you don’t end up having to take a bunch of hard classes at the same time. If you think they’ll be an annoyance, it won’t be a fun quarter. There’s also the possibility that you’ll switch majors and some of those new classes would fill a GE req that you’ve already done (= waste of time).</p>
<p>You generally want to have a balanced schedule, unless it’s unavoidable (and that won’t be the case your very first quarter).</p>
<p>Well, I’m fine with all the categories except the science ones. Those make me a little nervous (and since I’m in session 106, I know I won’t get to enroll in the easiest ones for those…), so I thought I should at least wait until 2nd quarter to take any science classes. :)</p>
