Do Colleges look down upon online courses?

<p>I'm taking a huge course load this year and French 4 AP won't fit in my schedule.. Would colleges look down upon me taking it online? I actually took french 2 and 3 during high school and french 1 during 8th grade. Do you think it would be possible just to not take a class online and maybe just self study for the AP test? </p>

<p>I'd rather take AP studio art than French since I want to go into architecture..</p>

<p>Also, if i took french 1 during 8th grade, does not count when colleges say that they like to see 4 years of language?</p>

<p>Not from what I’ve heard, it would actually look better because you are challenging yourself.</p>
