I'm a 2nd semester sophomore in college and so far have dropped 2 classes throughout my college education so far..
last semester I made the mistake of dropping an Earth Science w/lab class(science requirement).. I was depressed and really just wasn't into the class (the fact it was at 8am didn't make it any better), I regret it because it wasn't that difficult.. it was just more of me not being motivated to do the work.
anyway, this semester I decided to sign up for Biological Anthropology-- I took an Anthropology class last semester and really enjoyed it, and by reading the description of the class I thought it'd be more of an Anthropology class with bits of Biology mixed in.. anyway it turns out this is basically a full blown Biology class and i'm feeling in way over my head.. on top of that the TA for the lab is this dumbass bitch who has a mediocre knowledge at best of the topic at hand, and continously assigns us lab assignments that she doesn't go over in class, and is a stickler when grading them as well..
so a couple weeks in this course is turning out to be a big deboacle. and unfortunately i'm starting to consider I might have to withdrawal from this class if it continues down the path it's on..
my question is does it look really bad on college transcripts to see a bunch of W's on there for withdrawal?? or is it not that big of a deal?? obviously it'd be better than failing the course right??
this would be my 3rd class i've withdrawn from in about 4 semesters.. so that's really what I wanna know. If this is fucking over my transcript-- despite the fact my GPA is fairly high.
obviously, the money thing sucks too, it makes me feel guilty because my parents are paying for my education.. but because I might be transferring this January and end up commutting that will save them money, so in the long run it's not that detrimental from a financial standpoint..
