<p>Has anyone ever taken any summer session classes? How hard are they? I am trying to take a few GE classes during the summer so that I can focous mainly on Engineering, Math, and Physics for next year. How many courses do you recommend taking? I am trying to take MMW4,MMW6, JAPAN 10B, and 10C.</p>
<p>thats doable since the two mmw courses will be in different sessions. I have a suitemate who completed mmw4, mmw5, and mmw6 all during the summer. He said taking the two mmw’s at the same session was insane.</p>
<p>Cool! Thanks for the information.</p>
<p>Is it mostly UCSD students taking the classes?</p>
<p>yup. but occasionally you’ll get the high-school brainiac and other-UC student, since all grades obtained at the UC campuses transfer into a common UC-GPA.</p>
<p>so instead of going all the way to SD to take summer courses (I’m from the Bay but go to SD), I can just go to Cal?</p>
<p>yeah, but careful with the semester-quarter system overlaps. it’s a lot easier going between quarter-system-based campuses, but not even that is foolproof (ie, i tried taking ochem at UCD but realized that their classes come with a lab included, whereas UCSD’s ochem labs are offered separately).</p>
<p>I have a question. Can you stay in the dorms during summer quarter because I know you have to go home during breaks.</p>
<p>anyone know how hard MMW is during the summer? i’m thinking of mmw 5</p>
<p>@ buffettime - yes, but not your specific dorm. there’s general housing for SS students. it’s pretty overpriced. i’d recommend getting an apt with friends or look for a summer sublet.</p>
