<p>"i took 21 credit last semster. 8 classes"</p>
<p>Did you have a lot of lab classes in there?</p>
<p>My record for units as in the Fall where I got up to a full 22 units. I got a break in the spring and droped down to 21. I managed a 4.0 in the fall and a 3.6 in the Spring. So it is possible to take those huge unit loads on and do well.</p>
<p>It varies from semester to semester. The most I've taken in a semester is 19 credit hours.</p>
<p>i had 1 lab.</p>
<p>finals was a killer</p>
<p>Right now I'm taking 6 classes, which equals 19 credits for me. I did the same thing last semester, and it was really okay. My hardest class was Anat. and Phys.</p>
<p>This semester I suspect it will be Stat.</p>
<p>I actually enjoyed stat and found it to be COMPLETELY DIFFERENT than what everyone said it was. I really enjoyed the class.</p>
<p>Why did you spell theologian wrong?</p>
<p>Actually, I did not spell The-O-logian wrong.</p>
<p>Theologian is a studier of theology, which is the study of God (indicated as a male deity).</p>
<p>The-A-logian is the studier of the Goddess--the feminine divine.</p>
<p>Hence my name.</p>
<p>My apologies for going into research mode on you.</p>
<p>As for stat, was it really not bad?</p>
<p>I'm terrified of it (math was never my forte').</p>
<p>It never gets abstract. All of it is extremely pertinent and useful for not just many academic areas, but everything else as well. Just remember the formulas and you'll do great.</p>
<p>Some one should shoot gabew in the face. Statistics is so useful in life you will probably never use it.</p>
<p>Gabe,</p>
<p>Okay, thank you! You're very helpful.</p>
<p>Why do people use units so that all their responses appear to be a higher workload? Different places use different credit to course ratios so it is inconsistent and tells nothing. The original question was, "How many -classes-...?" anyway... Keep It Simple, Stupid.</p>
<p>i'm taking 19 credits next semester. 9 credits now (5 week summer session). it's not as intense as i thought it was going to be but some days (tues and thurs) I have > 8 hours of lecture</p>
<p>Dm3,</p>
<p>I know how you feel. I'm taking 18 credits (was 19, but I replaced my Bio with Astronomy) and last semester I had a LOT of lectures!</p>
<p>My A&P class was 3 hrs long and it was all lecture.</p>
<p>This semester my Astronomy class is the same way; I'm in hell already.</p>
<p>I have 16 credits for this semester, but it amounts to 25 hours of class. And included in that are 2 discussion classes that don't even count for credit, grr. The 2 chem classes are honors. And I will have a job too. So...any hope for a social life?</p>
<p>Yeah, I agree. Post # of classes, not units, since it varies school to school. I took usually took four classes each semester and that suited me just fine. Last semester I took five classes, and it was actually kind of stressful because of the intensity of the classes I chose and needed to take. Many students at my community college only went part time, which meant two or three classes, but I was lucky in that, I only had a job for one semester (+ summer) out of the five semesters I completed. I had a good social life, and did things outside the classroom and rarely felt totally bogged down. Then again, I'm a perfectionist by nature, so of course there were stressful times. If you're the type of person shooting for a 3.7 + gpa and you've got some difficult courses to complete for your major, I would say stick to four classes (five if one is a lab is okay). Don't completely kill yourself until the end, because you want to apply with a good gpa. </p>
