<p>Is this way too many classes?</p>

<p>Yes it is only 18 credits, but it is also 6 classes. </p>

<p>Experiences? What is the maximum amount of classes you've done and what was your GPA that semester?</p>

<p>I should also point out that I work 10 hours a week during school.</p>

<p>credits somewhat judge the amount of work though it also depends on the class.. 6 3 credits seem fine to me. i know next term i signed up for 5 3 credits and 1 4 credit for 19 credits and they are all science classes. but since the credit isn't that high it should be okay.</p>

<p>It depends! What is your major and what 6 classes are you taking?</p>

<p>Depends on major/classes -- I know if I took 6 classes I'd be trippin', but I also work 20 hours/week and am in Engineering... I feel like the credit numbers don't really matter -- for example, CS 212 (now CS 2111) is the work equivalent of a 3 credit class but is only 1 credit... so, it matters more the difficulty/rigor. I'd say to go ahead and try it, but drop one if you find it's too much.</p>

<p>The classes are intermediate accouting, two johnson school courses, taxation in Hotel School, AEM course and a language course. So actually 19 credits and 10-15 hours a week of work. I don't know if Im being over ambitious or not. I want some feedback :p</p>

<p>you should be fine</p>

<p>I would have given you more feedback if i actually knew the difficulty level of the classes you have mentioned.<br>
As a bio major, i usually started out each semester with 6 classes but after realizing the difficulty of the courses and the impact it may have on my GPA (I was Premed), i would drop my course load to 5 or mostly 4 classes of 15 credits.
While one of my friends, majoring in operations research would take about 30 credits every semester. He passed all his classes and graduated 3 semesters early but he mostly got Cs and Ds and he was happy about it.
So what i mean to say is, it depends on you, you leanring skills, studying skills, time management skills and your GOALS!</p>

<p>u'll be fine. i've met people who have 23 credits in the engineer school ... and somehow ended up doing well (and still had a life ... but this isn't to encourage loading up on classes). u'll know if u can handle it like around the 3rd week into school when first prelims come up in mid-sept.</p>
