<p>I'm a Freshman entering as a sophomore next near for 09-10 year. I don't know what I want to major in, and I was wondering if I should take some summer courses at my community college for credits. If I do, how many should I take, and which ones? Should I just take any?</p>
<p>I'm lost and confused, and my dad keeps asking me what I'm going to do this summer...</p>
<p>What courses did you take during your freshman year? Are there some general education requirements you can fulfill at your community college this summer?</p>
<p>First things first- make sure your school accepts credit from the school before you sign up/ pay for anything.</p>
<p>I had to have the course I’m taking this summer approved by my school (it was simple to do at my school), but I know that my school only accepts classes from 4 year universities (so no community college for me, even though it would be a lot cheaper).</p>
<p>Second, if you don’t know what you specifically want to take, if you’re going to take classes this summer it’s probably best to take something that would fulfill a gened req as sligh_Anarchist said. The class I’m taking this summer is for my major, but it’s a terminal class so I don’t have to worry about the possibility of taking another class afterwards and possibly being unprepared. ie taking psych 101 at a community college, but not being prepared to take psych 102 at your school because of varying syllabi (or whatever).</p>
<p>I have most of my gen eds fulfilled already besides maybe one or two, should I try to find two courses that fulfill these and then pick some other courses?</p>
<p>I know my community college transfers the credits. Freshman year I was basically fulfilling most of the gen ed requirements.</p>
<p>6 units during the summer is certainly possible. I did that the past 2 summers and aced the courses. They were all GE courses. What I did was take a super simple class concurrently with a difficult class. That way I got rid of the boring, simple classes like communication/English while still having time and energy to focus on the more strenuous science/math.</p>
<p>In your case, it’s probably too late to try this strategy, but go ahead and try doing summer courses. I never regretted it.</p>
<p>My situation is that there are two gen eds I need to fulfill. One is not offered at my community college and the other one I’m taking in the fall. Since I don’t know my major, I would basically just be taking classes for credits. Is this worth it?</p>
<p>Okay I looked at some courses and since I don’t know what major I want, I thought I could take a piano, swimming, and Japanese language course. All of them are for beginners, and I want to learn them. What do you guys think?</p>
