Okay, tomorrow I start my college course where I go for 3 days of the week. Starting September 4th I'm gonna be taking morning c lasses at an adult school every weekday while I'll be taking the c ollege courses on afternoons and evenings on Tuesdays, thursdays, and saturday mornings. I'm also gonna working during this sometime, with an average of 20 hours per week. I'm taking two English c lasses, a psy c lass, a sociology c lass, and a guitar c lass while my morning c lasses at my adult school are gonna be towards math.

Is five college courses too much when you look at what I got or am I fine?

My brother takes 4 or 5 i think, he pretty much had to drop his social life because all he did was go home and do homework until 1am every day. Of course he's a perfectionist that takes 10 minutes to summarize a page...

How many credits is it? That's what I would go on. It's usually a proportionate calculation to your load.

Each c lass (except the guitar c lass) is 3 Unites. The guitar c lass is 2.

Well, that's 17 Credits. 16 is considered Full-Time. You should be fine.

It's probably gonna feel like 4 because the guitar c lass is undoubtably gonna be the easiest c lass.

Sounds pretty good. I take four per semester myself and if I was working the hours you are or not at all, I would definitely take more. For me, 4 classes and 40-45 hours of work is enough.

It sounds like a decent load. Units don't always represent how much work the classes will be. For example, engineering classes take more time than most classes, and some labs take WAY more time even though they're only 1 unit.

Same here..

I've taken 7 every semester so far, and 6 this semester. In the last two semester I had a few lower credit courses (like phys ed/ golf was 1.5 credit a semester, and I had a kind of orientation class for 1.5 credits). It wasn't bad at all.

I'm taking six full credit classes this semester, and I really don't think it will be difficult. I made a 3.45 in my first semester, and a 3.60 last spring. You just have to realize your not going to be playing video games or watching TV. You'll eat, attend class, study / work on essays, and sleep. If you do that, you'll be fine.

That's not too many. More than that though is where problems occur.

I take 12 credit hours a semester, which is 4 classes. 12-15 is considered full time.

You'll probably be rather busy, but you can handle it if you make school your priority.

That sounds like about 15 hrs a semester. That's about right.
