So did I. It was terrible. ; ;

Expect general education requirements. Get them out of the way early. It's so satisfying to be able to say, "I'm done with math for the rest of my life!"

Don't rely on your APs to carry you through your gen eds. Chances are (especially with English) you'll get the credit but not the gen ed. Or, at least, that's what I and most of my friends have experienced.

I suggest take a handful of gen eds and a handful of classes in your major the first year. That way, you'll have a taste for your major if you end up wanting (or needing) to switch and not feel as if you wasted any of your time.

And yeah, take note of times. Unless there's something you absolutely need to take, you can probably get away with a decent schedule. I know I haven't had a class start earlier than 9:40AM. But then again, I haven't had a day start later than 10:05.

Oh yeah, I'd forgotten about that. My English AP got me credit for the English composition courses, but those six credits don't count towards my humanities general education requirement. You'll still probably have to take an English class or two, but at least you'll have a more options from which to choose.

I had 7:45 calc, haha. Man, my freshman year classes sucked. :p

One semester I took a 6 AM class >.> It totally sucked but it was also the semester I took like 20 credit hours 2 days a week XD

I went to school early...and left ultra late XD

Suckers. The earliest class I've had in my entire college career has been 9:30, and only one semester have I ever had a Friday class. :cool:

If you wanna learn from my mistakes, I suggest you get your GEs out of the way as soon as possible. And if you have foreign language requirements, get them done asap as well.

Aside from a few GEs, you'll probably be taking lower division classes for your major. Don't overload too much, it's gonna take you at least a semester to get used to the course work/load at your College. So I wouldn't suggest taking more than 4-5 classes.

College will kill you. Take it from me, I'm almost done and I was dead before I started.
