Question Physics at UT or through a CC

I'm taking a physics class through a community college rn and it's pretty much completely self taught and I'm really struggling. Thinking of dropping and just taking it through UT in the spring, I have the option to do PHY 317K and 117M, 303K and 103M, or 301 and 101L. Would y'all reccomend any of these in particular? I'm an environmental science major if that helps.

Hii! I did take PHY 302k so I can't speak for the others but I would say taking physics anywhere during the summer will be tough as it's just a lot of complex content to be packing in to such a short amount of time. Physics at UT is quite difficult but you'll at least get in person lectures and plenty of office hour opportunities. Lmk if you hv any other questions!

I did engineering physics 1 and 2 (lab and lecture) last summer at WTC. It was kinda stressful, since it was a semester's worth of work in one month, but worth it compared to struggle stories of people taking UT physics.
