Chem 101 vs Chem 121

I am currently an intended nursing major here at UB. I just can’t decide whether to take 101 or 121.
A lot of people told me 101 is not hard it just has a lot of work involved and people who took 121 says it easy in the beginning and then it gets really hard because it has orgo chem and biochem in it. also the prof for that class is mean and can’t teach.
101 has lab vs 121 no lab
101 is 5 credits while 121 is 3 credits
so what do you guys think? chemistry was really easy for me in high school, do you think chem 101 will be easy too?
i will also be taking patho, microbio, and ugh 112, independent study, and maybe a language for fun next fall semester as well.

are chem 101 tests hard? lab hard? quizzes? mastering chem?

I’m taking it, CHE 101 much easy
