Timetable Changes
I got my timetable, and it's actually not so bad. There are a few changes I could make tomorrow in order to make it a bit better, but if I can't change anything it's really not the end of the world. Is it worth bothering to change it? Is there a chance I might accidentally screw up the timetable I have as I do it?

If you are ok with your schedule I would say avoid the hassle of getting on to SOLAR. I'm pretty sure the server is going to crash again. You can also go on later that same day when it's less busy to see if you can make any changes.

But if I do go on to make changes, is it possible that I'll make a change that might screw up my whole timetable? For example, I want to switch my French class. How does that work? If I switch my core, it'll conflict with something else that I might have to move, but what if I can't move that thing. I'm a bit confused, clearly hahaha
But is it possible that trying to make changes will just make my timetable worse?

Note sure, never had that problem. I think as long as you don't save it doesn't save.

I have got a question. I really need to change up my schedule but what are the chances I can even get on during the few early hours that it opens? I ask this because I have not reworked my schedule yet, didn't have time and I don't feel like doing it right now since I feel like I might not even get on right away with all of the undergrad trying to get on.

Hi, I've heard that there are generally no limits for core courses... is this true?

There are only a certain number of seats per section and it depends on the room the lecture is taking place.
