[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know this is so basic, but I'm wondering what most kids do when they get to college. Is it 4 or 5 courses? I know there are some moments when you might take only 4 but is 5 the norm? Thanks! (Newbie here)[/quote] It's based on credits. At Michigan, most courses are 4 credits and 15-17 is considered a good FT load so it's 4 courses. At Virginia Tech, most courses are 3 credits so kids take 5 courses to get to 15 credits and be able to graduate with 120 credits in 4 years. [/quote]
