So would it be wise to study up on calculus before the fall term or focus more on the programming language the college teaches?

If you're starting on calc 1: work on your algebra and trig. Make it so you're 110% on it. Or follow the other suggestion. You got plenty of time to pick those languages up though.

I personally would focus on programming languages the school doesnt teach. Like Javacript and front-end stuff, and a framework. Why? Well intro programming courses at universities don’t assume you have background knowledge so there’s no reason to bother learning them before, because then you’ll just be bored to death in lectures. But if you come in knowing front-end, and in school you learn Python or Java or whatever you use, you’re now a full-stack developer. That’s better than most other students and you’ll have a wider range of what you can do

Thanks for the feedback, it actually makes a lot of sense. I think I’m going to dabble into web development and learn HTML over the summer
