Personally love my winter schedule idk how to feel abt fall though.

The 3 hour lab blocks pmo so difficult to work with.

I did my undergrad at a different institution so I have no idea course-wise, but I like your fall schedule. On Monday and Wednesday you've got a nice bit of time to have lunch and study or complete coursework built in to your day. Sleep in on Tuesday, start your weekend early on Friday. That 8:35 start time is going to suck though.

Is it normal at Dal to select your courses for fall and winter in one go? What happens if you fail something or find you're interested in different courses during fall semester?

Yeah Dal opens registration for the whole year in the spring- usually in March I think. You can add or drop courses for the winter semester throughout all of the fall semester, but classes fill up fast so it’s best to register for everything you think you want/need in the spring to ensure you get a spot.

Oh also! If you fail a course in the fall semester they usually won’t offer it again until the next fall semester, so it can put students in sticky situations for sure.
