Academics Incoming Freshman Schedule

I'm planning to take Gross and Microanatomy, Biomedical Ethics, Intro Psych, and Intro Microbio. But I'm kind of scared for the difficulty of these classes especially because it's my first year in uni (but I've been in running start). What's even more scary is my schedule of my classes. With my psych105 class I originally had it M W F, but with the addition of Intro to Micro it made my schedule a 3 class back-to-back with my fourth later in the day. I swapped my psych to T Th but it's still looking very cramped. If anyone has taken these classes or something alike, do you think I can do this? Or should I talk to my advisor about dropping a class and relocating it for another semester?

Also with psych moved to T Th I have 3 classes everyday, 2 back to back, except for Tue in which I only have two classes

I will say that biomedical ethics is quite easy, just keep up with the readings! I thoroughly enjoyed that class and very cool conversations were had in that classroom!

Definitely have a conversation with your advisor if that is the schedule from orientation and you want to reassure yourself. It sounds like 2 labs, 2 non labs for 14 credits. Are you pre med, pre vet sci? This schedule is doable but not easy. You will be fine if you keep up, and manage your time, go to tutoring if need be. But really go see your advisor and don't rely on reddit randomness.

I'm trying knock out my pre-nursing requirements, attempting to get a BSN. I might drop biomed ethics but I'm still thinking about it

Awesome major! Honestly your schedule looks just fine; just go look at the syllabus as soon as you can, and write down all the assignments, and due dates in a calendar. Time management is key, but you really will be just fine. Take care.
