[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Never hurts to start with the minimum,[/b] but the real answer is school dependent. Look at the degree requirement, divide by 8 ( if semesters) then you know the expected course load. At schools where 4 is the norm, there will be a heavier work load per class. [/quote] This is my opinion too. DC went to a school on the quarter system with quite a bit of AP credit so took only 3 classes (two 5 unit and one 6 unit class) each quarter the whole first year. This is a state school where kids usually take at least one summer session, if not two, in order to get the classes they need. If they'd gone to a semester school I would have been fine with 4 classes of 3 credits each. So much learning outside of academics going on that first year. [/quote]
