I'll be enrolling in college this fall and was wondering how hard it would be to fix my schedule to where I could take classes during the summer each year and graduate in three years. TIA

Not hard at all, but summer classes are a bitch - at least they were at Southeastern when I went. 3 hours per day, M-Th. Six hours was considered full time, so you may be able to shave two semesters off of the 4 years if you pass everything and load up on school in the summer. Say farewell to the social life if you're going 15-18 hours in the fall/spring.

Fix your schedule as in what?


Just take around 18 hours each semester and 6-9 in the summer and you can be out in three years

It's doable in terms of scheduling but you won't enjoy a minute of it.

One factor to consider is major.


Some majors are highly sequential in nature and you need 4 years to finish no matter how heavy you make your course load.

Do not graduate in 3 years. Actually try to enjoy the experience instead of rushing to finish. You've got the rest of your life to work.

I had the option to graduate in 3 years without taking a summer or winter class. Don't do it man. College is great and it should be enjoyed, not rushed. Focus on doing well in your classes, not cramming them all together in a rush. It won't matter in 10 years that you graduated a year early. It will matter in 10 years if you enjoyed college much more and you did much better by spacing out your time
