Middie, I agree with nysmile. If you’re sure that you want to major in a science, you’d be better served starting at a CC (many have dorms) or 2-year school. The level and competitiveness of the sciences at the university level makes it very difficult to get good grades. The first 2 years of bio and chem have several “weeder” courses and the ones that grade on a curve are full of pre-pharm and pre-med students. I think you would be better off starting out at a smaller school, with smaller class sizes, with the intention of keeping your grades very high and transferring to one of the 4 year schools. Just my $.02!
