How hard is your first semester course load?

I'm taking:
CPSC-111-504 4.0 CPSC CONCEPTS & PROGRAM
ENGR-111-518 2.0 FOUNDATIONS OF ENGR I
KINE-199-068 1.0 BADMINTON-BEGINNING
MATH-152-202 4.0 ENGINEERING MATH II
PHYS-218-524 4.0 MECHANICS

That's 15 hours for me. Math 152 is Calculus 2. I'm kind of worried about that class. Most people retake Calculus 1 even if they took it in high school. I got a 32/33 on the placement test, so I'm hoping it will be easy. And it's an Honors class.

Do you think this is too much? I know I won't be able to nef on ATOT as much with this schedule.

You have PPD of 0.17, you don't come close to being a neffer.

They didn't have ping pong or bowling. And badminton was the only interesting thing left, when I signed up. Hooray for getting owned by Asians.

LOL, not all Asians are elite at badminton or ping pong.

I did my BA in 30 months, so I was often taking 6-10 classes a term. Not necessarily hard stuff always, but a lot - and spread out over 3 different schools in threee different towns so that driving was a factor. Looking back, I wouldn't recommend it.

15 creds per semester is what it takes to graduate on time, I wouldn't recommend less unless you came in with a lot of AP or IB. I had 30 credits when I started and screwed around wayyy too much.

You could always do less and then do summer school. That'll help you keep a high GPA with minimal stress.

I already got 30+ hours, and I plan on doing 15+ throughout college. I was just wondering if 15 hours for an incoming freshmen is too hard. It will take some adjustment, but I think I'll do fine.
