First Year - Term 2 Courses
I have a quick question.

At the moment, the units in my course selection are sitting at:
Term 1 Units: 18
Term 2 Units: 12

Is this okay for first year, or do you guys recommend that I even it out (15/15)?
If you think I should even it out, none of the courses I currently have can be switched to Term 2, so; are there any Term 2 courses that you know of that are still open?

Thanks,
Derek

Depends... IF you're in engineering, there's a serious issue with having only 30 credits 18 is definately doable though, anyways...

It's not recommended, but people have done it. I've talked to many people who have done it, and very few of them would ever do it again Especially since your overload term is first term of first year, when you're going to be getting used to everything and it can be pretty overwhelming. Splitting it 15-15 is the ideal way of doing it, but if you really want to take all of your first-term courses and none of them can wait until the summer or second year, then that's your choice. It's not impossible, but it will definitely require lots of work.
