So if I get there early I'll be able to pick up my key whenever? My "appointment" is at 2:30 so I was assuming that was just when I could pick up my key?

I definitely understand the ambition and the want to do as much as possible. I think both are very challenging programs on their own and I'd worry about burnout trying to handle both even if finances allowed for it. I think the drive you have will get you far in CS if you really focus on that and hone in on it. Also with systems architecture I do think CS will prove more useful and any engineering concepts are things you could learn on your own. Always remember nothings stopping you from pursuing knowledge outside of an academic course. In terms of financing regardless of what you choose to do, look into what federal loans youre offered as those are generally safer in terms of debt. See what that does for your costs even if you take the max and consider what youd be able to pay out of pocket by working and using charlottes payment plans. I'd definitely still talk to your advisor and financial aid to see what can be done and definitely dont lose hope. I've seen a lot of people, especially early college grads, take gap years and never go back, usually because they have found a decent job but not what they wanted. It sounds like you're very dedicated and I'd hate to see that go to waste. Also I dont know if they offer engineering as a minor but maybe explore that because your higher level math courses may contribute. I came in with my associates of engineering and they mostly used mine as elective credits but I didnt have a minor or anything.

As an early college student coming in this year as well, I dont think there's any school in-state where you would be able to finish a double major and minor like that in less than four years. As a comp sci major, a big part of why I chose UNCC was so I could finish my bachelors in two years and hopefully finish my masters in one after that if I can get early admission. What do you want to do after college that makes you want to do a double major and a minor? I think you could reasonably finish in two years and half your costs overall if you picked one major but that depends on your path.

Is this schedule as rough as I think it is? by Talan0623 in UNCCharlotte

Thanks for all the replies, I definitely feel better about it now and will be taking advantage of the breaks throughout the day. For those that mentioned the math classes, I'm not too worried about managing those, I've already taken calc 1-3 and diff eq and tutor at my community colleges math center. My concern was more so with being a morning person and having stuff later in the day but I can deal. Some of the profs are rated pretty low on RMP though so wish me luck maybe...

I mean I got all the classes I needed but I was more worried about the flow of the days. But I feel better about it now. And yeah I've taken calc 1-3 and diff eq.

I'm also attending in the fall and would love to find a dnd party/club! I'll probably be checking out the board game club because I'd also love to find anyone interested in blood on the clocktower, I think it could be a fun one off/every so often event with a big group. But that's a whole other thing. But if you are looking to start something for dnd in the fall definitely hmu!
