<p>yes its annoying that so little counts for actual classes, rather its just credits. but you’ll see that even the credits help you in the long run. class registration (other than at orientation) is done by the number of credits you have, so as a freshman registering for the spring semester its helpful to have credits coming in, and therefore have priority registration among freshman. it sounds trivial but when theres only 2 spots left in the class you want to take you’ll be thankful</p>
