Do you fellas think that taking two upper division biology classes (about 7 weeks each) and an intro to physics class + lab is feasible for a summer session?

Eukaryote molecular biology (7 week session; does not include lab)
Microbiology (7 week session; does not include lab)
Intro physics + lab (10 week session)

Thanks.

P.S. My school operates on the quarter system.
 
All three at the same time? Sure it's feasible, it just depends on how much you want to hate life when everyone's having bbq's and pool parties and you're stuck inside studying :meanie:

I'd personally take Microbio and one of the other two at most.
 
Well, most of my close friends won't be around, so its not like I will have a whole lot of things to do anyway...
 
Will you be working at all?If so, how many hours a week?

Well, I might try to get a summer job, but if I do, I will probably only work part time. Its a long shot though.
 
OP, unless you have a hidden stash of cocaine or something, I don't think you can pull it off with straight A's. I would take two of those courses at the most.
 
Just as a point of reference, this summer I will be in class 31hrs a week. Bio I/Lab in 5 weeks followed by Bio II/Lab in 5 weeks with Chem 1/Lab (which I have already taken) in 10 weeks overlapping the other two. So no more than 2 classes at once, but 3 in 10 weeks. Shouldn't be much of an issue, but I am not working at all either.
