<p>I went to a community college on the quarter system and am transferring to a state school on the semester system for the spring (San Jose State University to be exact). How much harder you suppose classes would be compared to CC? I'm a linguistics major. I'm going to be working 8-16 hours a week and taking 18 units which comprise of these classes:</p>
<p>Intro to syntax
English as a world language
Culture, language, and ethnicity in the US
Upper division writing class
Patterns of English
Philosophy of science</p>
<p>In previous linguistics, philosophy, and English classes, I've found them pretty easy (getting As in all). I have overloaded myself before with 20 quarter units, 16 quarter units and working 32 hours a week, two quarters of language in six weeks (as opposed to 22 weeks normally).</p>
<p>Would 18 units + 8-16 hours working be too much? Are classes harder at university level instead of community college? In your opinion which would be harder quarter system or semester system?</p>
