<p>How many courses should I take each semester at CMU SCS?</p>

<p>I was thinking 5, but is that a lot of work?</p>

<p>Almost everyone takes at least 5, so no.</p>

<p>Yea, 5 courses a semester is a good amount. However, as you move up in the CS curriculum, realize that certain courses are very very time-consuming regardless of how many units they may have. In that case, people may take only 4 or only 3 courses.</p>
