Quick Question For Any College Students/grads

So, I'm at a community college right now getting my gen eds done (for anyone who doesn't know what gen eds are, they are basically a set of classes that you have to take as a base before you can primarily go for your major) and then I plan on transferring to a university. I found out today, I can be done with my gen eds if I took 8 classes this semester. Bad idea? Or no? Classes I would be taking, I know every class is different but to give you an idea: Trig/Precalc Music appreciation (can't draw, need a fine art) Logic (philosophy) General Psychology Spanish (need a lang. I guess lol) Astronomy lab Chemistry or Biology lab Intro to Sociology I've only been in college for one semester, this semester, which I took 4 classes, and it was pretty damn easy because of the professors I had, which is why I'm asking you, who will probably have more of a grasp on this. Also I work a part time job 30 hours a week that isn't demanding or stressful

  • I took 8 classes before. I pass them all. Its possible however it is not recommended. If you want a challenge, go for it.

  • I went the same path of community college to university and took some of the classes you're looking at. 8 classes in a semester is a bad idea. Lower-level classes are not that difficult, but the problem is that the sheer quantity of work is going to be overwhelming. Spread the classes out between two semesters.

  • 8? Do you want a brain tumor?

  • 8? HELL NO. Even if the classes are easy you will regret it. The most I took WITHOUT a job was 5. WITH a 40 hrs a week job, the most I have taken is 4, which was challenging, even with two of those classes being ridiculously easy. Community college, that is. I am gonna take 3 next semester so I won't overwhelm myself. You don't really appreciate free time until you have none

  • No. Eight is an awful idea.

  • Do 4 this semester and then do another 4 over the summer. It'll be worth it.
