<p>I realize that everyone is different, but if you were in my shoes which would you choose?</p>

<p>OPTION 1:</p>

<p>Monday, Wednesday
9:00-9:50
11:00-11:50
12:00-1:15
2-3:15</p>

<p>Tuesday, Thursday
9:30-10:45</p>

<p>Friday
9:00-9:50
11:00-11:50</p>

<p>(One online class)</p>

<p>OPTION 2:</p>

<p>Monday, Wednesday
12:00-1:15
2-3:15</p>

<p>Tuesday, Thursday
9:30-10:45
3:30-4:45</p>

<p>Friday
No school</p>

<p>(Two online classes)</p>

<p>OVERVIEW:
Option 1 Pro: No 5 hour gap on Tuesday & Thursday (option 2 has gap)
Option 1 Con: 1st class at 9 am, school on Fridays
Option 2 Pro: First class on MW is at 12:00 (as opposed to 9am), no school on Fridays
Option 2 Con: 5 hour gap on Tuesday, Thursday (and I’m a commuter, 20-25mins to get to school)</p>

<p>Which one would you choose if you were in my shoes?</p>

2

<p>Please keep in mind that both options have 18 hours of coursework (which isn’t going to change). So it’s not about how many hours I should take; it’s just about which schedule you were choose if you were in my shoes. *Note: I know a schedule should be fitted to me personally, but I’d like to know other opinions.</p>

3

<p>I’d choose option 2, without a doubt. Later start times, three day weekends, and the large Tues/Thurs gap means that there’s plenty of time to do something else during that time. Go to the gym, schedule a work shift, study, hang out with friends. That’s even enough time to go home and come back, if you wanted to.</p>

4

<p>I’d go for Option 2 as well. It looks like you would have more time to study, etc. like baktrax said.</p>

5

<p>Yes, option 2 for reasons above.</p>

<p>Option 1 is a waste of a commute on days, plus you’re doing it more often!</p>

6

<p>Since you’re a communter, Option 2. Just make sure you can stay on top of those online classes! It’s easy to fall behind, believe me.</p>

7

<p>I would chose the 1st option because I hate online classes and I seriously can’t learn from them</p>

8

<p>Option 2 if a commuter…It’s less gas. And you can spend the 5 hours on campus in the library or with friends…</p>

9

<p>Option 2 handsdown.</p>

<p>Four classes in one day sucks.</p>

10

<p>Option 2, I wouldn’t be able to stand having such a lopsided schedule.</p>

<p>I would make it so I wake up at the same time every day though.</p>

11

<p>Option 2 because on Option 1 on MWF, you didn’t schedule yourself lunch time :P</p>

12

<p>I’d lean towards option 1. Eighteen credit hours is a full schedule either way. It is very easy to kid yourself that 2 online courses necessarily mean less work. In my experience online courses can be graded more harshly because there are no brownie/partcipation points. You can also easily fall behind because you take it for granted.</p>

<p>Of course, if you are a VERY disciplined student the easier commute of option 2 makes it the obvious choice.</p>

13

<p>I’d lean towards option 1 because I know that I’m more motivated for in-person classes. But if you know that you’re comfortable with online classes, it sounds like it might make more sense since you’re commuting.</p>

14

<p>Option 2. </p>

<p>As a commuter with a very long drive too, I totally feel that option 2 is also best for gas. The gap would also be a great time to do work especially for the two online classes, nap, eat, whatever.</p>
