Like in highschool, is there a core number of classes that you need to take your freshman year of college?
I speciffically am looking to go to the University of Illinois-Chicago or Loyola University.
Also, I have three AP classes (AP Literature, AP Gov. and Politics, and AP Physcology) next year (my senior year) i am planning on taking and also taking the AP exam for...so assuming i get college credit for those classes buy getting away with one semster of the class....where does that put me with my core classes....how many more would i have left to take? (in UIC or Loyola or any college in general from your knowledge)

I'm a UIC student. I'm assuming LAS requirements. You have to take 9 hours of both behavioral sciences and humanities and 13 hours of natural sciences. With those APs, you'll have some of your social sciences and humanities credits completed. AP Psych is 4 hours social sciences credit and 3 hours social science credit from Gov and Politics. You will receive 3 humanities hours from literature.
You will also have to take two semesters of Freshman English Composition, 3 hours each. Also, you will have to get credit for quanitative reasoning. If you place into Calculus, you'll get that credit.
There is also a foreign language requirement. You'll take a placement exam. You need to finish equivalent of 2 years worth.
There's also a writing in the discipline requirement, but that's an upper division course.
Remember if you are not in LAS, the requirement are completely different.

More often than not, you will jsut be given the credits, not credit for classes the departments these AP classes are in. The college has their own general requirements, unless you go to a libral arts college, which I do, then there are a ton of things you must take in different departments outside your major.
Basically, jsut get those credits to transfer over and every class your freshman year should be in different departments. Your college will be able to tell you more about core classes you need.

the core classes you talk of in college are those associated with your major. once you choose your major, you'll probably be given a sheet from your college advising stating what classes you need to take to fulfill your major. that being said, colleges also have certain requirements that have to be fullfilled in order to obtain a degree. these include, but are deffinetly not restricted to, english, history, social science, and math. you're going to have to take about 10 of these "general knowlege" courses. now, if you get a 4 or above on your APs, then you will be placed out of the English requirement. you will still probably have to take 8 other classes.

That is a question that really only your college will be able to answer, especially with your AP classes. But when you are looking at college classes, look for the prerequisites for the more difficult classes you want to take. That way there will be no problem when you are looking at classes after your freshmen year.

Freshman year at college is your usual basics: english, math, typing, computer, etc.
Most colleges offer the option of testing out of these classes. But you usually have to pass the final exam first go around or else you have to take the class that semester. At least that's how it worked when I was in college.

Math: If you took AP math than nothing, if you didn't you'll have calculus.
There is nothing left in History type classes
There will be one more science class
And 1 more english
Besides that there is only what your major entails

Well i think it depends on your major. Every school is different. Look it up in the general catalog for the campus you are interested in.

My guess is contemporary mathematics is the easiest. But statistics could turn out be more useful.
