I'm scheduled to attend BLC in July and I'm also going to college. Normally I'm able to handle the requirements of a condensed university summer semester without issue however, I've heard from my peers that have recently attended NCOES that it is quite a time-intensive undertaking. Will I have enough downtime during the course to effectively complete the university class I'm scheduled to take? Or, should I drop the university course so I don't risk a poor grade and it impacting my 4.0 GPA?

Definitely drop your courses and focus on BLC. It's not that time intensive or difficult, but it would be very difficult to do both well at the same time. If you do both and do poorly with one, the negative repercussions are bigger than the benefits

I dropped an online physics class but every night the classroom was open for us so I would have been able to do both. It depends on what course you are taking. I was AD and did a 4 week WLC in Germany in 2013. Pretty sure it’s changed since but WLC was easy, the tests were open book, so I’m sure you would do fine. You know you better than any of us, so go with your gut.

I believe your peers bear listening to. That's a pretty intensive undertaking.
