<p>Would it be crazy for a freshmen to take 16 units??</p>
<p>I wanted to add art(Drawing & Composition)
To my schedule of Math,English, Counseling, and writing workshop.</p>
<p>My brother hasn't taken any art classes yet so I cant ask him.
So is there alot of work like writing to explain& analyze art?? </p>

<p>16 credits sounds like a normal load… I’d say go for it.</p>
<p>Wow really? My counselor said 12 is enough since it’s full time.</p>
<p>I’ll be a freshmen this fall! Thanks for replying

<p>I’m taking 14.5 credit hours (units) first semester. As long as you take the minimum of 12 to be a full-time student and under 17 (to avoid added cost), you’re fine. Since you’re taking a lot of credit hours first semester, maybe take a minimal amount second semester and take some harder classes. Harder workload should be balanced by a lighter credit load.</p>
<p>Lol good point caz Calculus is no joke I didn’t pass the AP test. I don’t think all my classes are too difficult but I’d rather get the hard classes out the way.</p>

<p>I’m taking Calculus at a nearby university to get the credit out of the way beforehand. My fall schedule is actually considerably easy, a lot of required classes for programs I’m in and per-requisites for my major program. Second semester I’m taking considerably harder “weed-out” classes, though.</p>
<p>Good Luck 
summer classes cram more. Im still wait listed for fall but oh well I can take it on Spring. </p>

<p>Truth, but because I’ll only be taking two classes I can put more focus on them. Math is my weakest subject, so being placed in a university lecture hall with 300 students does not seem appealing. I’d prefer a class of 30 (what I will have) and lots of outside of class time focusing only on that class.</p>
<p>I say take 16 units, and then if it’s too much, drop a class.</p>
<p>15-16 is a “normal” load. If you only take 12 credits you can’t graduate in 4 years. It’s the bare minimum to be considered full time and exists for students who registered to their regular 15-16 credits but for whatever reason had to/chose to drop a class.
Your schedule looks fine with art. 
But remember to go to office hours at least the first week to get to know your professor, make sure you understand the syllabus, ask questions you wrote down in class… (and then any subsequent week that you can. Office hours are like a mini private review session, never pass them up!)</p>
<p>:0 Wow I didn’t know that! Well I added art, but now I have class every weekday 
</p>
<p>I’m going to a community college but I’ll transfer in about 2 yrs. </p>

<p>15/16 is normal, as everyone else says.</p>
<p>I’ve taken 12, 15, 17, and 18 at various points. The big difference, I think, is 12; it’s really relaxed. 15-18 all felt the same to me, and it was very doable.</p>
