Hello, I am looking into taking some summer classes. Does this look like a manageable list? Also don’t have much going on this summer and this classes really only last til early July.

Summer Courses
Check with your college to see what courses would be accepted if they are not at your college. Talk to your adviser.
Do you have financial aid for college? If so, how do you pay for summer classes?
Summer classes are condensed…You take 15 weeks of classes in 8 or 6 or 4 weeks. Remember that each “week” of a typical 3 credit class is 3 hours of the class + 2 to 3 hours of studying/reading/homework per class hour, so that means 9-12 hours of work per “week”…so if you are taking a 6 week summer course, you have to fit 15 x 10 hours (for ease) in 6 weeks, so that would be 25 hours per week per course. So don’t take more than 1 and possibly 2 six week classes at a time (if you know you can commit to 50 hours/week) as that is the more than the equivalent of a full time job.
Are you taking all three of these classes at the same time? I wouldn’t recommend that. If you have zero going on other than the classes, I might have you take two of them overlapping, but not three.
