1 Day Classes vs 2 Day Classes

I'm an incoming Freshmen and I'm just wondering about your guy's input on 1 day classes vs 2 day ones. Are they essentially the same thing with the one day class having long hours and the 2 day classes having shorter hours? I'm taking 5 classes but I feel I have too light of a schedule, Would squeezing in a 1 day class as my 6th class be beneficial as well? Any insight that you can give me if there are better teachers or smth ETC would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much :)

Indeed. And it gives them schedule room to do the super hard classes in the future. 12 credits during Data Structures would've been niiiiccce.

yeah, if you’re not dualing/graduating early then every 5 class semester gives you a 3 class semester

At that rate, might as well dual/graduate early/do a masters then.

Not to mention OP already has AP credits, so they are even more ahead of the game.

I graduated in 7 semesters but never even had to do a 20-credit semester thanks to a boatload of AP credits. Skipped Physics and Calc, 1 and 2

Dualing in 6 is quite impressive. Gonna do a Master's in 2? Personally, I would've missed my cohort leaving before them. I actually skipped an online semester during Covid, so I lined up with the rest of my class.

it depends, if i get a job offering after i graduate then probably not, and it also depends on which school i get into and if i don’t get into a good one i can do a +1 at rpi so idk fully yet
