If you don't mind me asking, what classes? Did you take some easy ones, to lighten the load?

I'm at 17 right now, I've padded my schedule w/ some basic requirements I need to get out the way: Business Writing and a lower level Comp. Sci. course.....but I'm taking Managerial Economics and a Stat course, so I'm wondering if I'll be ok. Even if I should add one more internet course (some dumb Health Science requirement).

19.5. I am doing 19 this semester. This is a "normal" load for my school :)

Glad I am not doing the accelerated program! :Q

I'm taking 19 this semester, but am currently regretting it. It sucks when one of your professors says: You've probably heard the rumors about me. They are all true. I am a hard teacher and this is probably going to be the hardest class you have ever taken.

I took 14 my first semester, 23 my second, and 24 my 3rd. ( then decided ISU sucks and left ) I had a part time job for the first semester along with the limit being 14 for incoming freshman.

The most I ever took in one quarter was 21 units. Needless to say, I did not have perfect attendance in ANY of those classes. :D

ok listen up freshmeat.

you guys most likely have the idea in your head "no pain, no gain" and some sort of god complex. but if you overload you'll burn out 1/2 way through the semester. and you'll learn what I'm about to tell you.

The idea you should have in your head is "no pain, no pain" GPA is king.

A lot, my social life was non-existant.
