Bad idea to take Bio 1, Gen Chem 1, and Calc 1 all at the same time?

These would be the only classes I would be taking.

A little background. I was originally taking pre-nursing classes with aspirations of becoming a nurse but recently decided to pursue biology since I love science so much.

Would this be too much to handle taking these three classes at once? Also, I have heard positive things about the Bio 1 professor and the Calc 1 professor I would be taking.

I appreciate any input!

That’s standard for a biology major.

Not a bad idea at all, especially since those are the only classes you’re taking. I did it first semester freshman year. This is a common track in the fall for STEM Majors and it’s also better because in the spring you can be a little lighter. That’s when you tend to want the “lighter load.”
