Hey guys, my main concern is the friday of my term 1. The shitty thing is that that friday has only mandatory courses from ONE program so its not like multiple courses from multiple departments just happened to overlap terribly. This was PLANNED torture for us. Most of them aren't open to other programs so its not like they have to cater to a huge group of students and their timetables as well.

Anyways its only EOW for how ever long labs go so that's an upside : / Is it that bad? Am I being scared for nothing?

I'm also contemplating overloading in second semester and taking BIO2A03 as well. Would that be too much for my schedule and is overloading generally ill-advised?

Any comments and advice would be greatly appreciated, thank you in advance and hope everybody is doing okay with theirs!

Change your orgo labs if you can... other than that you don\t have many other options, lol. Eat on the way to class.

I definitely agree with britb. I had a lab on Friday morning and on Friday afternoons in 2 different terms and I hated both! The Friday afternoon though was much worse, especially if you have a few classes before it- you'll be exhausted by then :/.

Term 1: Having your Chem lab and Bio tutorial right after each other might be a little exhausting, especially since both will need some prep. Maybe move your Bio tutorial to Tues at 2:30. I really like it overall, but the 1-hour breaks are a little annoying, however there's only so much you can do about it. Maybe move your Psych core to after your math core on Tuesday. That way, there's one less break and you'd start later. Also, it'd just be one block of class and you're done!

Term 2: I love the late days but I'm not a big fan of the early morning chem lab. However, there's no where else to put it unless you switch cores and i don't think you should. Especially since it minimizes all your breaks and everything is compact between 12:30 and 5:30. So definitely keep it as it is, I wouldn't change anything . Just note that chem labs might be a pain so prep ahead of time!

Term 1: A pretty good schedule overall for Life Sci I. I like how there's minimal 1-hour breaks. Although it's not something grave but, I would just switch the Bio lab to Thurs afternoon and Chem lab to Tuesday afternoon and here's why.. On Thurs, you have a core and a lab back-to-back and going from TSH to ABB might make you late for your lab and I personally wouldn't risk it. BSB however is closer to TSH so you'd definitely make it on time from TSH to BSB. If it's full though, no worries, you're not a disadvantage or anything, just make sure you head to the lab right away (if you stick with chem on Thurs.)

Term 2: Also pretty good overall, the only problem might be TSH to ABB once again. But since that's inevitable (morning labs aren't exactly ideal), I would just move the Chem lab to Thurs and Bio tutorial to Monday. Monday labs for chem are the worst, especially if you're during the first week! So it's better to have it later in the week.

Thanks. Unfortunately there's no Bio 1m03 on monday (term 2).
And about switching Bio and Chem in term 1; the only spot available is
for chem. Do you thing it's worth taking that spot and therefore put in a conflict
(Bio lab and Chem lab on monday afternoon) and maybe resolve
it later? Or should I wait till I find both spots at the same time?

Oh shoot, I should've double checked the master timetable, sorry about that! It'll be really hard to find them both at the same time so if you choose to switch them you'd have to switch one and then keep the conflict until you're able to switch the other one. During the first week of school though, they can resolve it for you since it's 2 mandatory courses if you speak to the course co-ordinator and whatnot.
