So- a freshman is supposed to try to game the system by choosing classes they can likely get easy A’s in? Why not take classes that sound interesting that one can want to learn enough to get an A? The 100 level classes are meant for newbies. If a student finds they like a subject but waits until later in the college career there may not be time to take more than the one course or change one’s major.
OP- trust your D to manage her college classes with the help of her academic advisor. If an advisor suggests she wait for good reasons then she should. Outsiders do not know your D, her school, the course etc. btw- good students will jump right in with a decent class load- having too many free hours (the consequence of too few class hours) makes it harder to settle down and study. Remember- it is a lot easier to drop than add a class after the first week. If she is used to a rigorous HS load she should do fine with whatever she deems workable at her chosen college.
