To be a transient student just for physics??

I've had several guys from my Uni, who have at least attended the physics courses, that I should, if possible, take the classes at another nearby 4yr university because of absurd difficulty from the ONE professor that teaches the course. All have told me that 3/4 of the class drops or fails each semester. To me, it seems they would get another professor or ask the professor to adjust his curve...

Anyways, do you think adcoms would look down on taking both physics at another university? They're not required for me to graduate in microbiology, but I know they're pre-reqs for dental. Oh, and there is a possibility of applying without having the physics courses yet... list both as classes I will take after the semester of which I apply during.

You could take it after you apply as long as you complete it prior to matriculation. However, dental schools will realize you are trying to take the easy way out if you take your physics series at another university. It will look fishy, and they will notice it.

If it makes you feel any better, the physics professors at my university aren't the greatest either. A lot of the pre-health students at my school end up taking physics at a community college because the professors there are better (easier). I took physics at my university, and it was hands down the toughest class I took in college. The advisors at our school have told us that it was okay to take (a limited amount of) cc classes without it being looked badly upon by the dental/med school in our state.
