Good point. I should have mentioned that as well. Thanks.
In my kid’s case, it was not a problem to work in a semester with no premed courses. The challenge was working in a semester with no labs as her school does not give credit for labs taken elsewhere. That is why she switched from biochem to neuroscience. That allowed her to fit in a semester abroad, but she had to choose between two universities her school would accept classes toward the neuroscience major. It worked out fine, but she had to do some legwork to figure out her options… meetings with department advisors, pre-health advisors and the study abroad office.
@kingfisher1947 get to know the various advising teams at your school.
