Ask a Current Binghamton University Student Anything!

I’m in SOM, and I’m currently trying to plan my schedule. I heard that credit hours don’t matter as much as the course load for the classes do; right now, I’m planning to take 17 credits in the fall. I figured that wouldn’t be too bad seeing as they preplanned 2nd and 3rd to also have 17 hours.

Schedule:
CQS III (req) - 2
MGMT III (reg) - 2
LING 380E: Writing for the Soc Sciences © - 4
MATH 220: Calc for Business & Mgmt (req) (M) - 4
ECON 160 (req) -4
RHET 246 (O) - 1

Does anyone know how heavy the course loads for these classes are? Especially the required ones.
I’ve already taken Macro so Micro shouldn’t be shockingly new. Also, in case you were wondering, “why not just move rhet to the spring”, I decided to take it in the fall since it’s supposed to help prepare me for oral presentations throughout college. I’m not the best at those. Overall, do you think this is an okay first semester schedule?
Thank You :slight_smile:
