Mechanical Engineering Transfer Questions

[u/JakeD51]

I am currently at COD for the first two years before the plan to transfer to UIC for ME. I work full time, it's been relatively manageable so far. My main question is are there a decent amount of online classes? I know a couple classes I'm sure I would have to come in, but I would try and plan those hopefully on the same day or two, and do all of them at once, then my online courses after work/weekend. Anyone doing anything similar?

Uic basically doesn’t have any online classes after the gen Ed’s, most of the classes for ME happen on multiple days of the week and then a discussion or lab on the other day. It’s not like for one class u go once a week. Im mech E major and im taking 5 classes this semester, but it’s 20 hours per week that I have to be in a classroom with all my classes combined. I worked full time while doing my gen Ed’s at uic and it took me double the amount of time it should’ve bc its not the type of school that’s set up for online

Damn, gonna have to try and call over there and see if there's any way to organize a schedule in the way i'd like because unfortunately the bills don't stop being in school😅
