How many credits is too much?

<p>I currently have 16 credits right now and I will be doing UROP with it.</p>

<p>Is that too much for a semester? For UROP, the research hours will either be 6-8 Hours/Week or 8-10 Hours/Week.</p>

<p>Has anyone else had trouble balancing UROP with classes? Does this seem like it will be too much?</p>

<p>each person is different. What are your HS credentials?</p>

<p>I’m actually a sophomore. My schedule has Calc 2 & Physics. The other 2 classes are easy A’s (Ling 111 and Humanities) in comparison…</p>

<p>I’m just wondering if this seems like too much or not. I haven’t done UROP before this, but I’ve heard that biweekly seminars+assignments can get pretty tedious over time.</p>

<p>How is the UROP workload in general if I keep 16 credits??</p>

<p>Depends entirely on you. Some seem to never sleep. I can’t really function on less than 8 hours. I’m taking 18 credits (5 classes) now and it seems overwhelming. Probly gonna drop the class that meets on Fridays. If i were you though, I would not drop a class just for UROP if that’s what you mean.</p>

<p>It depends on your other commitments, what the classes are and how much time you need outside of class to study. I would think your schedule should be manageable especially if the physics is first semester and you had some physics in high school.</p>

<p>15/16 is pretty standard fare. 17 or 18 without the proper determination beforehand would be a bit worrisome.</p>
