Summer school 09. Help!!

Colleges and Universities A-Z University of California - Berkeley

<p>I'm a new transfer student for the fall of 09. I am trying to take summer school to get adjusted and get a class or two out of the way. But, I have a few questions/concerns.</p>

<p>Is it crazy to take 7 units during the C 7 week session? Is it possible to do it and do it well? I am coming from community college with a 4.0, but I know the workload will be significantly higher at Berkeley so I am concerned.</p>

<p>In order to be eligible for financial aid I need to take 6 units. So far I enrolled in a 4 unit course, sociology of culture. I'm also looking at a comparative literature course, too, which is a 3 unit course.</p>

<p>I was considering doing the comp lit as pass/no pass because it is not a major requirement (but does satisfy the American Cultures Requirement).</p>

<p>Suggestions/Comments/Advice?</p>

<p>session C is 8 weeks,</p>

<p>7 units should be a fine load. 7 units over 8 weeks is like 14 units over a semester (16 weeks). Considering 14 units in a semester is a very stable load, 7 units in summer session C should be a very stable load too.</p>
