<p>I'll be in the FSH program during the fall at USC and I need some advice on my schedule. Did you only take 16 credits or if not, what did you use the 2 extra credits for?</p>
<p>i guess there are none online?</p>
<p>I’m not in FSH but theres a bunch of one and two unit classes you can take if you want to use your extra 2 units.
Some are listed here:

They have dance and improv and stuff.</p>
<p>The PE classes are supposed to be pretty easy, they have yoga, swimming, tennis, etc.</p>
<p>I did FSH this year.</p>
<p>It killed my GPA. While I was able to get an A and A- in honors biology (after studying wayyy more than my roommate, who was in regular bio), honors chemistry for me was horrible. First semester, I had Dr. Mak and got a B with much effort. Second semester, Dr. Krylov was horrible and completely unhelpful, and I got a solid C in the class even though it was supposed to be curved etc. She was not helpful in answering questions about my grade breakdown, and the final exam did not even have a key!! I got an 86/200 on the final exam because there was NO PARTIAL CREDIT GIVEN. I got 0/25 on problems that I easily did at least 75%+ right. It was absolutely ridiculous and I couldn’t even do much about my grade because we found out our scores the day I was flying back home to the midwest, and she refused to answer any of my questions via email. Even emailing the department head didn’t work.</p>
<p>A ton of kids dropped this year and Judy Haw did not plan a SINGLE program for us like she had planned / it is advertised. TO seems like such a better planned program than FSH. At least they get special dinners with faculty and field trips, etc. We got nothing.</p>
<p>Oh and 2-unit class won’t really hurt you - take it if it looks fun! I did an interesting freshman seminar last semester and it was pretty cool. You can always drop it if it seems like too much work or if it turns out to be boring.</p>
<p>Oh no… That doesn’t sound good at all. I was told it was pretty difficult and that they didn’t curve but it didn’t seem that bad. And I have Dr. Krylov too for chem. I’m not sure who I have for bio… Greaat… hopefully my experience will be better than yours. :((
But thanks for the input! I was originally signed up for a freshman seminar but I dropped out because it made my schedule waaay too full.</p>
<p>Oh, my goodness! I heard this class was relatively easy to do well in 
Dang, I should’ve tried harder on my TO application (I didn’t get in) than my FSH one.</p>
