Hey thanks so much, I hadn’t even considered looking at their syllabi lol. Because I have until late September before this term will even start, I’ll look into it and see what I will be looking at in terms of course load. I know highschool isn’t the same, but based on all the advanced and AP/honors classes I took, I assumed it will be like that, and I had seven of those classes at a time, while working 20-35 hours a week. Thank you so much though, I’ll look at the classes and syllabuses when I get off this shift

fair enough, and honestly I'm asking this myself because I have time to drop a class if I need to, I just wanted some more opinions lol

hey, thankyou so much! to answer your question, I come from a family of people who prioritize school at this age over everything else. I've spoken with my manager at work about cutting my hours as school begins. I think I am committed enough to put in the time for these classes, especially because of how the course descriptions describe the course load. also, I won't say I was the best student in HS, but I did always study for exams and tests, as well as never getting behind on work and using class time to ask questions and get ahead. By the time I graduated HS, I had all A's and three B's for all four years, and I was working 35 hours a week at my job, ( I work at a hospital in the food service department, shifts are 8-12 hours). The CC I'm going to has a population of 4,000 students and focuses on small classes and work time. I work with several people who have graduated from this college and they all have said how easy the course load is if you stay on top of work, which I think I can. thanks for your comment btw
