<p>I will graduate May 25th, 2008 and the first day of classes at Valdosta State University (50 miles from home) start June 6th. I am going to be a Biology major who will add some credits on and become certified to teach. This is what my schedule should generally look like.</p>

No classes!</p>

<p>How difficult will that schedule be? I am taking physics 1 first because I am taking physics my senior year and am hoping it will be helpful in the college course.</p>

<p>I will generally take probably 15 or 16 credit hours during the summer, fall, and spring....except for the first summer in which I just wanted to ease myself in.</p>

<p>I can apply to VSU this July for June of 2008...since they are on rolling admissions.</p>

<p>Any advice/opinions? Also, if anyone could help me figure out a schedule for doing homework/studying that would be nice...and once again, thats just a rough idea of my first semester.</p>

<p>Come on guys, I'd really like some advice...</p>

<p>By looking at your schedule it seems you'll be busy. You must remember that summer sessions move FAST. I assume that all classes that you've listed are core requirements. Maybe just take 2 instead of 4; 4 classes seems like overkill. The schedule may seem easy since most or all are intro courses, but if you can manage your time and not go crazy then more power to you. Don't rush the "education" part of college unless you want to graduate early. You won't have to worry about graduating on time (4 yrs) if you pick your classes carefully.</p>
