A load of BIO 202 with lab, CHM 201 and 005, STA 205, ENG 102, COM 203 and LAS 208 is doable but demanding. Students advise leaving COM 203 out, because stacking it on top of the English requirement makes the semester noticeably heavier.
Taking COM 203 and ENG 202 in the same semester is manageable, provided you choose the right instructors and are comfortable with a constant flow of assignments.
The COM 203 syllabus was changed and the course now involves a lot of writing, so students strongly advise against pairing it with ENG 202, which is built around essay writing, unless you are patient and genuinely enjoy writing essays.
COM 203 can be taken once ENG 101 is completed, so students who have not yet finished ENG 102 can still register for it.
Between Wissam Nasrallah and Ghiwa Ahmad for COM 203 (Media and Society), students pick Wissam Nasrallah.

Rana Alaaeddine is described as an extremely kind and understanding professor for COM 203 (Media and Society). Her grading reputation is inconsistent: she is said not to give above 89 in regular sections, while a student in her honors section received very high grades.
Rana Aladdine is very pleasant and not strict at all in COM 203, but she caps assignment grades at 88/100, so the best letter grade a student can realistically earn with her is an A- or B+.
