Hi! First of all, most freshman DO take Bio 117 & Chem 108 together. I guess what you need to decide is whether or not you’re going to do the pre-med track OR just major in Biology. I’m a Bio major on the pre-med track. Most students are advised to take Chem 107/108 if they’re on the pre med track. Chem 111 is super rigorous and is mostly taken by engineers or students NOT on the pre-med track. Although taking Bio & Chem together is tough, like I said before, most freshman do it. Also, the math isn’t calculus, more so just the basics. As long as you took Chem in high school, you should be okay. There’s also tutoring and a help room for chem, so you won’t be completely lost. Finally, most Bio majors have the option to take Calc because it counts as credit towards your major.
