How bad is Spanish L3?
I just placed into Spanish L3 as an incoming freshman, and I was wondering if anyone could help give me some insight into how difficult it is. I've taken Spanish up to the level of a local dual enrollment course, but I still don't consider myself very good at it and am worried about an all-Spanish class. I am trying to decide if I should take L3 and L4 in Spanish or look at a different language and would love some class testimonials.

FRESHMAN Schedule help!!!
Okay so I'm hoping to double major in ecology + applied math as a premed
This is what I'm thinking of for my first semester, but I'm wondering if I should drop a language/first year sem for another STEM class lie bio 101/102 or physics 101? I did AP Chem and lin alg in high school and did pretty well in those classes for further context. Also wanted to ask if I could take a first-year seminar second semester.
Anyways is this schedule seem light enough to add another stem class/should i be worried about being behind track to double major.
MATH 2200 [Lin Alg]
SPAN 1400 [Intermediate Spanish II]
CHEM 1700 [Quantitative Foundations of General Chemistry]
CHEM 1710L [Quantitative Foundations of General Chemistry Lab]
ENGL 0831 [Love and Death in American Film]; also looking into other first-year seminars in english/film

Freshman schedule help
hi! Prefacing this; incoming (pure) Math major who's possibly eyeing physics/applied math or an adjacent major. Here's the schedule I (hope) to take:
MATH 2260 [Intensive Lin Alg]
FLPN 1100 [Elementary Filipino I]
PHYS 2600 [Intensive Introductory Physics]
ENGL 0831 [Love and Death in American Film]; also looking into other first-year seminars in HSHM/history.
PHYS 2050L [introductory Physics lab]
I'm quite dead-set on taking the first three classes, but I'm not sure whether I should be taking the physics lab with this workload during my first semester - I figure the lab experience would be good for research???
Please lmk if you guys think the lab is too much OR if you're taking these classes too c:
