<p>I had academic (we have academic and financial overload at my school) overload my second semester (19 credits). It was actually my best semester, because I had to prioritize. So there is that to consider.</p>
<p>100-level classes can be a lot of work at least in my experience. I had a 100 level gen chem class that meet the 3 times a week and had 2 3-hour labs a week. The class was pure torture and pretty much non stop work. The actual content wasnt too hard but all the work took a toll after a while.</p>
