| OK Here's Another...But It's My 1st Post!!! =)
WOK Here's Anotherhat do you think about my 1st semester (freshman) schedule? I want to be a social worker so right now I'm thinking I will double major in Social Welfare (pre-masters in social work concentration) and Psychology. I will have a total of 16 credits.
*History 2--TuTh 8:00AM-9:15AM
*Intro to Social Welfare--TuTh 9:30AM-10:50AM
*English 1--TuTh 11:00AM-12:30PM
*Astronomy--MWF 12:00PM-12:50PM
*Spanish--MTuWF 2:00PM-2:50PM
If I accept the work-study, I will have 2 jobs and I won't be living on campus.
These classes (with the exception of Intro to SW) are basically the gen.ed requirements, and are transferable because I'm not sure if I want to stay here. |

| Perhaps I'm new with this, but do you want an opinion on your classes or your schedule as a whole?
If you're looking for the former, then I'm no help (business major here), but as for the latter I'd say it's not too bad, given that you're done by 3 at the latest. That said, I would consider cutting back on your jobs and only taking the work-study if possible. As a first semester freshman, and a potential transfer candidate, concentrate on achieving as good of grades as possible - not trying to kill yourself with two jobs.
However, if there is one blemish, a class at 2:50 on Friday is rouuuughhh. I've been there before, but that doesn't mean I'd do it again. | |

| If you enjoy your major, then it should be pretty interesting and enjoy! If you're like me, an engineer, then that's a different story. | |

| If your thinking about transferring, take all of your gen ed classes and do very well in them (B >). Transferring to good colleges is becoming increasingly difficult. | |

| The schedule isn't bad. His major is not engineering, he's going to majoring in social work. I think the worst part of that schedule is the time.. although the classes aren't exactly my cup of tea (besides spanish) | |

| I thought that too. Until I started taking some social science and humanities courses and realizing that they are actually pretty interesting and easy as hell. Orgo is a pain in the ass. Linear algebra is fun, though. | |

| 1. Thanks to the people who responded with helpful opinions
2. I'm not a guy
3. I asked what do you think of my SCHEDULE, not the classes - meaning the times/days
4. My 1st semester is not a joke. Everyone doesn't want to study math & science 24/7. I love studying history, social sciences, English, and foreign languages. | |
