Terrible first semester as a CS major

I would stick with CS for at least another semester. In general, most students find 61B easier than 61A. Also, you’ve completed your first semester and being away from home is no longer new and novel.

You might think about other majors and maybe pick one class toward that. So I recommend 61B, Math 1B, and some class that satisfies another major’s requirement. I don’t know what other classes you’ve taken and what you completed in HS, so it’s hard to propose a complete schedule.

As quidditchcat mentioned, it would be helpful to reflect on why your grades are lower than you wanted.
