<p>A lot of people are telling that this is going to be a tough schedule...is it really?</p>
<p>I also plan on joining a club, have a work-study program, and intramural sports...and a social life lol</p>
<p>I think its the 3 labs that make it hard.</p>
<p>It’d be hard for me but I hate math and science. If you’re good at that stuff you should be okay. Plus I don’t advocate 18 credits for freshmen, since you have seven more semesters to take 18 credits, you have no way of knowing how the workload will affect you, and you should spend this one adjusting and being extra social because your first semester is when many people are most open to making friends, but if you want to take that many, you can.</p>
<p>You’ve posted something similar before …</p>
<p>Like I said, in my opinion labs are generally undervalued in terms of hours. 18 credits is fine, but it’ll probably feel like (a lot) more since you have 3 labs.</p>
<p>Well alot of those courses look like weeder courses so it could be tough.</p>
<p>Well I only really consider it 2 labs because with the Human Evo course, its lecture twice a week, 55 mins and lab once a week 55 mins</p>
<p>If you’re a STEM type person, then it shouldn’t be too difficult. For those of us who aren’t good at/hate math & science, it looks really difficult.</p>
<p>Just a lot of studying. Your English class will probably fall by the wayside if you’re not careful.</p>
<p>Yuppers. I’d suggest going a bit easier for your first semester/quarter.</p>
<p>Having 3 labs is considered rather tough. Other than that it doesn’t seem too bad.</p>
<p>I’m not sure if this matters but I took AP Bio my senior year, so I’m a bit prepared for college bio, I was in the science bowl competition my senior year so I had a deep review of chemistry as well…and I took pre calc</p>
<p>Workload wise, your schedule is like someone that majors in art/architecture or music. To a person that isnt passionate about the subject it looks like your overworked but if your passionate about it then it shouldnt be too much.</p>
<p>
yeah, I’m a music major, so that’s kinda why I said 18 credits isn’t bad, considering I’m probably going to take 18-20 most semesters as a double degree student (BM piano & BA History)</p>
<p>Should I really be concerned about not having time for a social life? Lol</p>
<p>^…I would be way concerned, but it’s all about how important your social life is to you. For me it’s pretty much my biggest priority so I would never overload myself so that I wouldn’t have time for that, ESPECIALLY in my first semester when people are most looking to make friends. But if you don’t care about it then it’s no big deal.</p>
<p>^^^…I do care about my social life lol…maybe ill drop the eng course…</p>
<p>It’s just a lot of work, and chemistry is one of those fields that is 90% memorization (at the introductory level anyway) which means lots of reading and quizzing yourself.</p>
<p>that many science courses in college is normal.</p>
<p>Not at all!</p>
<p>The last 3 comments made me feel better =)</p>
