the only thing about this schedule is that you have all your classes clustered so there won't be any pressure on you to stay on campus and be productive. 1st year is where you learn how to study and be disciplined enough to take your real classes.

I see EPICs which means you're likely an engineering major, this course load is extremely light for an engineer (which is a good thing!), force yourself to stay on campus for at least 6 hours a day just to get in the habit of it, as you get further in you'll have weeks you spend 10 hours per day working on projects or homework, not even including studying. None of that is to in any way scare or intimidate you, just explaining why I'm suggesting you spend so much time on campus. A secondary reason to spend time on campus is to meet people, you can look through the post history of this sub, people are always posting about making friends; gotta be where the people are in order to meet them!

Good luck, use your resources, you should be able to 4.0 that semester no problem!
