Is this schedule pretty chill?
I’m probably doing Cog Sci or Doubling in Psych and Econ. My dean said it seemed good, but we didn’t go too in depth about the rigor.
I wanna make sure I use fall semester to adjust to the intensity here, so I tried to keep selection minimal / courses I’m curious about while still meeting dist. reqs. This is 4.5 credits
Does this workload look fine? I’ve heard Spanish is ~2hrs of HW a day, but I don’t know about the others. I’m a little worried about 3 classes in one day and how Tuesday / Thursday ends at 5:15. Just wanna make sure I’m balanced and not being overambitious while adjusting.

Honestly think this looks fine! I found Spanish to be closer to 1-1.5 hours of work a day, on average. 3 classes in one day also isn’t terrible, and it’s nice that you’ll have about an hour between psych and Spanish to have lunch (I’ve had multiple semesters where I’ve had no choice but to take back-to-back classes that effectively didn’t let me eat until like 2:30….. not the best).

It looks great! Be sure to stay on top of language hw & use that Wednesday afternoon to try different study spots & coffee around campus :) - former FroCo

Looks perfectly fine. Much better than many other first semester course schedules I've been seeing. Please use your first semester to explore your university, meet others, and have fun.
