Course Sequence

So I'm in Calc I and Chem I right now, and am curious what you guys and gals think about course load and an ideal sequence.

Does calc based Physics pair better with Biology or Organic Chem?

I assume its easier with Bio, so is something like Calc II, Chem II, and Bio I too much for one quarter (next quarter)?

How would you divvy up Chem/Bio/Phys/Orgo over two years?

I'm leaning toward an engineering or hard science major like chemistry, so that's why I'm doing it in two years instead of spreading it out over 3-4.

I did gen chem/calc/calc-based physics in freshman year, and organic chem/bio in sophomore year. Wasn't bad at all except for 2nd semester organic chem. I'd probably pair physics with bio. I absolutely loved physics, but it was a lot of work, and I think if I had done physics and organic together, something would have had to give.

There are advisors at your school who can help you with questions like this.

Meant to say thanks for the advice last week. Going to do physics and biology together and stick with chemistry and calculus for now.

I know and I've asked. She didn't seem to have an opinion on the pairing of science classes so I wanted to hear from those who have done it (in the past 30 years).
