How many courses per semester?

<p>...would you say would be a reasonable load? Is 5 too much? What if you're double majoring and you want to get it done in 4 years?</p>

<p>if you take over 18 credits per semester you have to pay extra tuition, fyi.</p>

<p>not considering tuition, would 5 courses for the freshman fall semester be too heavy?</p>

<p>I would think that might be much. I would check and see if they would even let you do that. Most of the stuff you will take freshman year are required classes (depending on what school you are going to)</p>

<p>Yes, it is too much. Don't bite off more than you can chew, believe me. Four courses first semester of your freshman year is enough, and if you feel afterwards that you can handle more (though most likely, you won't), then you can go for twenty credits later. First semester involves getting used to college, for one...</p>

<p>agree completely with ijailin89. if you're finding things easy, challenge yourself to get a 4.0, it will help to a have a solid GPA as a foundation for your later semesters.</p>
