Just start with the compulsory courses. It leaves you an extra six months to decide what you want to do. If there's only three compulsory courses (I'm not very familiar with Comm/Sci) then choose a compulsory course from the major you are most confident that you know you want to do. If you're worried that you might change your mind abotut the major, then don't worry, because that course can be just taken as one of your electives. Remember: The enrolment program will automatically stop you from doing a course you're not allowed to do.

That's the advantage of being a Commerce student. I only have 12 hours of contact each week. Meanwhile, when my Engineering buddies do uni full-time, they actually mean full-time, for 30+ contact hours a week. However, we are expected to do a reasonable amount of study/homework in our own time.

so should I bother filling the days up to become a full time student?

Most commerce students go to uni 3 days, some 2 even. That's the beauty of it. 4 day weekends if you structure your timetable right :)

God no. Minimise the amount of days as much as possible. Most full-time Comm students only go three days a week.
Try this thread for a few extra tips on timetables:

I'm in exactly the same boat as you, so it's good to hear I'm not alone :) I've currently enrolled in MATH1151, ECON1101, ACCT1501 and SCIF1021. The reason for the last one, is because it's only available in first semester.
