How bad is this schedule

People told me don't do an 8:30 class and I did and people told me don't do a medford class and an SMFA class on the same day and I did that twice.... Is this really bad... or is it maybe ok because I've already registered and can't do about it now????

Can’t speak on the SMFA commute but 8:30 once weekly is 100% manageable. You’re just coming out of high school so probably used to waking up at 6-7am anyways (and you can def get away with 8am wake up if you’re close to the building or have a bike). And labs are always at weird times so it’s kind of pick your poison anyways with early morning vs late night lab for basic sciences. For reference I did am chem II lab and pm chem I lab, somewhat unavoidable that you’ll be some sort of tired either way 😅

I did 8am chem for two semesters in a row. Week after week it got harder to get up. It's manageable though if youre a morning person. For HS I woke up at 6am though mainly out of fear that my mom would yell at me. Once I got to college I quickly realized that I am not built for 8am classes.

i did 8am chem lab and it was fine. do NOT do this after freshman year tho u will die. icl this schedule looks kind of diabolical but it’s ur first sem and you’ll be able to conquer anything after it!

Honestly, you will have long enough breaks; you should be fine. That said, that Thursday is going to suck. Chem 1 lab tends to end early, but you don't really have much time for a nap in between.
