I would suggest that you wait until at least your second semester, if possible, to take at least one Math or Science course. Many times students jump into difficult classes when they first get to college and don't do well in them b/c they are not fully adjusted to college. However, depedning on your major (like, say if you are pre-med), you may need to start on some o these course now, such as an introductory Chemistry or Math course. So, I wold say talk to the counselor in the department of your major, and in any programs as well (like one for minorities that offers counseling). They can better advise you on this issue than most of us, since they are familiar with you campus. Also, if you know anyone that went to that school, ask them too. If you do decide on taking one of those courses, make sure you stay disciplined and attend class daily, get tutoring (many schools offer free tutoring for certain subjects and courses), attend the Office Hours of your professor and your TA; ask them if they have any pointers on how you can do well in the class, and if you have ANY questions regarding the material don't be afraid to ask both of them to help you. That's what they're getting paid for, anyway.
Good luck.
