First year Commerce is pretty chill I'd say, but then again, you have to wait until second term to get a feel of what it's like. Comm 1E03 is a killer (if Rita Cossa teaches it), you'll probably get really low mark on the group report. I remember the range from our tutorial was like 20%-67% at the most for the group report. They will deduct marks for the smallest mistake possible (ie. having 2 spaces instead of 1 after a period). Not to scare you or anything
You probably need to double or triple the effort you used in first year in order to do well in Commerce II. It's a little intense because of all the Commerce courses you have to take, and the midterm/exam schedule. Last year I had Friday and Saturday midterms back to back for three consecutive weeks. On top of those midterms, we had to do other assignments, so you better manage your time REALLY well and do your readings as scheduled. I would suggest you take a really easy elective during second year in order to focus on core courses
Second year is intense. But once you get through it, you'll be okay.
What would be the best course to take during the summer from Commerce II?

I would recommend 2AA3, 2AB3 (if they offer it, i'm not sure if they do) and 2FA3. Get all the accounting and finance out of the way!
