<p>I'm an english major, and took 18 units last semester. Overall, it was fine and I got away with good grades, an active social life, and time for clubs and such. However, this semester, I'm getting involved with the Greek community and possibly picking up a part time job, so I dropped to 16 units. My advice though - don't take two of the English 45 classes in the same semester; it will seriously kill you. I didn't do it myself, but had a hard enough time keeping up with the reading in 45A. I've known people who have taken 2 at a time, and wanted to die. DRab is right - while it doesn't have the 'engineering' reputation, the English department here at Berkeley is certainly demanding. </p>
