I just saw where to start a new thread!!!

<p>Sorry To repeat this question, just saw where to start a new thread..How many hrs should my son take his first semester?? He is going into Computer Hardware Engineering??
Thanks!!

<p>min of 12 to be considered full time but its recommended to take 15 credit hours</p>

<p>for a new student they recommend a max of 14 or 15 I think, until the student is acclimated to college life. And since He's doing a dificult major I'd recomend not doing the full 15 unless there is some filler in there.</p>

<p>Thanks... I was thinking he should do 12 to start.. since he was in IB and also took alot of AP classes, he should be ahead of the game anyway!! :)
