Answer #1

For me that is very ok… in our country when I was in school my very low units was 18., and my highest units was 29.. in 29 units I have much time extra fun activities…:))

Answer #2

oh yeah I picked all my classes based on ratemyprofessor.com lmao what a cheater I know, but I dont want a crazy professor!! the art teacher had really great ratings but ya your right. I should just take it slow for the first sem. thank you!!!

Answer #3

It might be, art and weight lifting you wont have a bunch of studying to do so that should be fine, but the others could wear you down quick and you might want to give up.

Answer #4

nah, it sounds ok… if you were taking 18 full credits it would be a lot, but since one class is weight lifting it doesnt sound too bad… (but if this is your first semester, I would reconsider, sometimes it takes a while to get the hang of college…)

oh and the art will take up a lot of time, so you better be good at time management…

Answer #5

you can start to pick up more classes the semester after… but I’d give it atleast one semester to ease in and get your bearings… oh and one piece of advice? my school has an internal rating system, but this might also be helpful http://www.ratemyprofessors.com/ believe me, if the professor has bad ratings, stay away! it isnt worth it… every class you take will have easy and hard professors, just take the easy ones, you learn the same stuff, but it’s less stressful!

Answer #6

ugggh. yeah my mom wants me to take those classes to get done with it faster. Her and her boyfriend are like pushin me to take more..especially since im not working. But I am really nervous about it because what if I have hella art..then like an essay in english.. and math h/w everynight..and whatever else.. ugh. ima drop art. but I think ima keep the other classes. weight liftin was put in because I need to kill time between my math and english class..and after weight lifting I still have a freakin HOUR AND A HALF to kill!!! yah.. thanks for your help=/ eek
