<p>Number of courses depends on what your major is and how many AP credits you get... I've taken 4 courses every semester except one with 5 courses, and going into my Sr year I could take 3 each semester and still graduate.</p>
<p>I'd definitely start with 4 the first semester since you have to face the adjustment from home to college life.</p>
<p>I'll be in China next fall, huzzah!</p>
<p>Hey JohnnyK...this is completely irrelevent but do you browse HoFo by any chance? Your screen name looks awfully familiar...anyone else who browses HoFo will know exactly what I am talking about...others disregard :D</p>
<p>Damn I run into HoFo people everywhere!!!</p>
<p>Yes it's me...I haven't been there this semester much because Penn has been killing me. But it appears to have paid off as my GPA this semester is 3.78 (with 4 out of 5 grades in)</p>
<p>Heh...it's a small world ain't it? I don't go to Penn but a looking at it for grad school.</p>
<p>It's a terrific school, I <3 it so much :-). Fantastic undergrad experience. The grad students I know seem to enjoy it too.</p>
