So, I'm at a community college right now getting my gen eds done (for anyone who doesn't know what gen eds are, they are basically a set of classes that you have to take as a base before you can primarily go for your major) and then I plan on transferring to a university.
I found out today, I can be done with my gen eds if I took 8 classes this semester.
Bad idea? Or no?
Classes I would be taking, I know every class is different but to give you an idea:
Trig/Precalc
Music appreciation (can't draw, need a fine art)
Logic (philosophy)
General Psychology
Spanish (need a lang. I guess lol)
Astronomy lab
Chemistry or Biology lab
Intro to Sociology
I've only been in college for one semester, this semester, which I took 4 classes, and it was pretty damn easy because of the professors I had, which is why I'm asking you, who will probably have more of a grasp on this.
Also I work a part time job 30 hours a week that isn't demanding or stressful
-
I took 8 classes before. I pass them all. Its possible however it is not recommended. If you want a challenge, go for it.
-
8 seems fine. Go for it. Don't be lazy.
-
I went the same path of community college to university and took some of the classes you're looking at. 8 classes in a semester is a bad idea. Lower-level classes are not that difficult, but the problem is that the sheer quantity of work is going to be overwhelming. Spread the classes out between two semesters.
-
8? Do you want a brain tumor?
-
8? HELL NO. Even if the classes are easy you will regret it. The most I took WITHOUT a job was 5. WITH a 40 hrs a week job, the most I have taken is 4, which was challenging, even with two of those classes being ridiculously easy. Community college, that is. I am gonna take 3 next semester so I won't overwhelm myself. You don't really appreciate free time until you have none
-
No. Eight is an awful idea.
-
Do 4 this semester and then do another 4 over the summer. It'll be worth it.
