first off, it’s hard. most community colleges say you’ll finish in two years, yet most everyone i know takes about three.

how my CC worked was this: the maximum amount of units for spring/fall was 18, but you could petition to take more (which i always did). during summer the maximum is 12 (again, you can petition for more). the maximum you can take (with a petition) is about 21 units. anymore after that and you’re going to have to petition to the dean, which is a major pain in the butt.

my summer was split into two different semesters. for example, during the first semester i took humanities and zoology. the next semester i took three GE’s, and then ten days later i started fall semester.

you can cram in as many units as possible, but remember, no one cares that you finished CC in 1.5 years if you get C’s in all your classes. make sure that you are a good enough student to really challenge yourself.

it will be hard, you will get stressed and tired, and your friends will probably not understand. but if you’re happy, that’s all taht matters.

good luck.

Good luck!!!
