HELP ME WITH MY COLLEGE FRESHMAN SCHEDULE???

<p>i am completely lost, and none of my relatives could 'actually help me' out....</p>

<p>so hears the dilemma, i got a scholarship for $1000 but they're requiring me to take 15 credit hours.</p>

<p>so IS it better for a college freshman to take 5 classes with 16 Credit hours
or 4 classes with 15 credit hours?</p>

<p>because, what exactly does the credit hour signify? just how long youre 'in the class'? not the difficulty right? because i turned to a few friends and they make their schedule based on credit hours, so it has to have some relevance, right?</p>

<p>Credit hours are how many hours you are in class each week. Difficulty does not come into play.</p>
