This fall semester will be the start of my first year of community college. Currently I'm ed for 4 classes which all add up to 13 units.
Classes are
• African American history 1
• Art of Cinema 100
• College Success 110
• English Composition 100
I've been debating if I should take math 110 (college algebra) as well which is 4 units.
If I take math 110 along with the other four classes, will that be too much? I'm worried I am not taking enough units per semester to be able to transfer/graduate on time. I think 160 units is required to graduate/transfer.
(I suck at math btw but I'm planning on self studying until then to improve.)

4 is good don’t choose more than 4 based on experience if you chose 5 or 6 you will be stressed A LOT trust me so 4 is good max tbh
Yea I talked with my counselor about this and she recommended to just take 4 classes for my first semester cuz i might feel overwhelmed if I take more units :)
girl i’m taking 7 as a first-semester freshman :satisfied: 5 is totally normal at my school. i’d say that waiting to take a math class until your more comfortable would be the best decision though. as a fellow not-mathy-person, that’s what i did and i think that is definitely a wise option
Geez that's all of classes at once ! Props to you haha I've decided to start math next spring. I'm awful at math and worry I won't do well. so if you have any tips let me know :]
It depends. 15 credits is your average semester for most students. I have even taken an 18 credit course load before (which I dont recommend unless you have to). If you are working and going to school it might be difficult but since you are taking 100 level classes rn it shouldn't be too difficult of a course load.
I'm only going to be attending school. So I would have enough time for more units if I need them. But I've decided to just stick with 4 classes my first semester since I'm not behind or anything :) plus it's what my counselor recommended
5 classes seem to be normal. Students may take more or less depending on how much they can handle.
I don't know how much I can handle yet since I've never taken college classes ^^; i can always withdrawal and take it again. But I'd rather not :/
Depends on your time management. I've taken a college level math class, it takes so much time and it was 5 unit credits at my college.
How well did you do in that class? And how many other classes/units were you taking at the time?
