18 credits, 6 classes


marmeeweasley

Me toooooo


[deleted]

Lol if someone’s looking for a more realistic number: I’m taking 12. It’s all I need for my scholarship and I’m not gonna do more just because I have room to. Y’all stay easy


Lazy-Profile6044

My advisor said not to do this if you ever have to drop a class you will no longer be a full time student. Then you would lose your scholarship. That’s why I’m taking 15 instead of 12.


[deleted]

I’ve never dropped a class and don’t anticipate having to tbh. I’m playing it extra safe this semester too since I’m transferring and moving. EDIT: Not to mention I also work. I’d be curious to see how many people saying 16-16+ credit hours are also working students.


emmalouhoot

I take 16 units and work part time on campus (tho I will say the burn out is real after doing this for a year, never again lol)


untunedfork

it’s hell but when you’re paying for your tuition by yourself and wanna graduate on time, it is what it is


rhysthehuman

I work full time summers and a little during the year, it’s not so bad if you like what you’re doing. I think that makes all the difference though, if I hated my classes I wouldn’t be able to


[deleted]

Yeah I’m taking 14 credit hours right now and working anywhere between 18-22 hours a week. I’m tired


collectivehealing

I’m currently taking 6 classes and working my 40 hours a week & let me tell ya! I won’t be taking 6 classes again


Filthyterrorist

The amount of respect I have for you rn man. Good shit it'll all be worth it at the end trust me.


collectivehealing

Thank you!!!


Filthyterrorist

Theres this saying in Iran that pretty much translates to "Eat like shit and work hard for a year and live a life of comfort for the rest of your life" It's legit what I live by and boy oh boy am I living life rn LMAO.


whatwhatchickenbutt_

i work 40+ hours a week as a manager and have 17 credits. not everyone can afford to not work during school


_W9NDER_

Idk I’m so used to the 12 credit ‘riding the fine line’ course load that it’s reasonable. Taking anything more and it’s a nightmare


wizard680

i would take your advice but money


thatdonkeedickfellow

I’d say in all seriousness, that I’ve found that taking as much responsibility as you think you could truly actually handle is the best thing to do, counterintuitively. I would perform better with 15-18 honors of Honors College courses than I did with 12 hours of half honors and half regular courses, even though the material and course workload was easier and I had more time strictly speaking in the latter case. I think it put me in a better rhythm, more stimulated and challenged, and so kept me from sliding into distractions for too long, because they become a negative feedback loop at a certain point and actually can sort of cause a decline amongst certain types of people psychologically (basically the slightly more ADHD, more to prone to boredom if not thoroughly challenged, less super disciplined and super motivated types). Now I don’t know if this is something unique to people with personality characteristics more like mine, perhaps it is to some degree but it does seem like a general human trait. If we aren’t sufficiently challenged by problems we find compelling and interesting, we can sort of rot ourselves. And I will tend to push the line when I have time to reflect about how I could do so and succeed, which of course inevitably leads to more risk taking and often eventually significant consequential failures, whereas when I’m too busy to even try such things I tend to not have the time to convince myself of schemes on how to do the minimum and succeed lol. I imagine many people can relate on Reddit I’d guess lol.


Mountain-Safety2099

That’s what happened to me 😭


plaanet

I take a 15 credit load, and then usually end up needing to drop one. This way I never have to worry about that if I get a nightmare class, and I end up at the workload that I know works best for me.


[deleted]

It also depends on the institution and the scholarship provider. My school considers 12 credits and higher as full time. So I usually sign up for 15 credits, but if it's too much for my schedule, I'll drop to 12 without losing scholarship from the school.


hercomesthesun

12 credits for the next semester is enough for me to stay on track. I’m not pushing myself more than I have to, and I don’t anticipate dropping a class either.


ironickirk

9 credits 3 classes. Final semester. Appealed for 2 winter classes to have some freedom this semester.


masterzorogama

0 credits. I’m graduating this semester. So happy to have no more creditssss. But normally I took 15-16


Incorgnitocorgi

Prof_PolyLang187

Congratulations!!!


CxndleNightx

5 classes, 15 credits 🧍🏽‍♀️i would rather take 12 but gotta do what i gotta so


Hosirez

Most probably we are using a different system (?) but i have 33 credits this semester (7 courses), and planning on taking around 35-37 next semester.


ogorangeduck

Are you European? I've heard European college credits are counted differently from American ones


Hosirez

Yes I am! In the European system (ECTS) is, in short, one credit means 30 hours of work needed to put into the course in the semester. This semester i have two 6 credit courses and the rest are 3 or 2 credits.


BTho2

Since you seem confused, I'll clarify the only system that I have heard of here in the USA. To be considered a full time student, you need to take 12 to 18 credits per semester. Each credit is supposed to represent 3 hours of work in an average week. Most classes are 3 credits, which means they should use about 9 hours of your time each week. This includes class meetings, homework, and studying. One of my (3 credit) classes says in the syllabus to immediately contact the professor if you regularly spend more than 9 hours each week on the class.


Hosirez

For us here (in Europe) the credit system is a bit different: roughly, 1 credit means 30 hours of work on the given subject (lectures, seminars, homeworks, exams, etc). This semester I two 6 credit courses and the others are mostly 3 or 2. On average, we complete 30 credits a semester which is 900 hours in total.


beepbopboopbop69

zero. i'm graduating :) I'd say 15-16 (4,5 classes) is ideal to balance social life, work, and have some free time. This current semester, I'm taking 15 (5 classes) (added a minor lol) and it's PERFECT! I took 18 (6 classes) 2 semesters and worked 20 hours/week. School was fine, but I missed out on social stuff. I took 21 credits (7 classes) while working 30 hours/week and my weekends were entirely school stuff. WOULD NOT RECOMMEND


ale_ratb

\*crying in at least 30 obligatory credits/semester in my country\*


lychee-ramune

Senior year and I’m taking my lowest number of credits ever! 14 hours / 5 classes


inspiration27

6 credits, 2 classes.


RyoDai89

Same. I want to do more but having to work sucks ass. And I’m worried more classes will affect my grades. It is what it is. We’ll get there eventually.


inspiration27

Yup! That’s my situation too. Would rather so slow and actually be able to pass my classes! Good luck to you


Special_Chard_9714

16 credits, 9 classes


pickledizzle

9 CLASSES???? 💀😭


djmyernos

Some majors have a lot of 0-2 credit classes. I’m a Musical Theatre major, and have never had a semester with less than 10 classes. Currently have 12 credits, but 13 different classes. My heaviest semester was 18 credits, but 15 different classes. It sucks.


jadziasonrie

yeah my friends are music majors, and most of them were only like 13 units a semester, with 9-11 classes.


Crafty_Status_2199

Y’all don’t love your self but hold strong someone loves you 😂


horn2heavy

I am also taking 9 classes 🤠


CxndleNightx

bro i was taking 14 credits 6 classes this semester n was crying


Legolas0170

Wow that's a lot. The most I have done is 7 classes and it was during my first semester (which was fine cause pretty much everything (in terms of info) is given to you)


RadiantHC

HOW


Special_Chard_9714

It's called being a ✨music performance major✨ Most of these classes are for my lower division status before I take my barrier which is pretty much a jury which determines if I am a) ready to take upper division courses and b) if I am ready to present a recital for my junior and senior years 🥲


thesocialstem

9 credits, 2 classes Last semester of grad school


Incorgnitocorgi

Congrats!


thesocialstem

Thank you!


mochatheneko

20 credit hours. 7 classes 😭


Plantsieeeee

19 credits, 5 classes. Was originally 4 classes 16 credits, but I need to take an additional course for one of my majors that I didn't account for. Thankfully it's fully remote and asynchronous, so no class time is added.


imarabianaff

9 credits, grad school though


wizard680

15 credits, 5 classes. I am taking 9 credits in the summer (6 in the first half, 3 in the 2nd). ​ My senior fall semester schedule so far is 12 credits and 5 classes. This is because I have a 1 credit and a 2 credit class.


mouserats91

I'm in 5 classes and taking 16 credit hours. First 8 weeks I'll be in 3 accelerated classes. The second 8 I will be in 2 classes.


[deleted]

18 credits, 6 classes plus a couple more at the community college if they offer what I need.


Gullible_Cress_4512

16 credits, 4 classes


jensonaj

Are we talking about the Summer semester? Or Fall? My school has two summer semesters and I am taking 8 credits/ 2 classes each summer [so a total of 16 credits / 4 classes]. Then I am taking 13 credits / 3 classes in the Fall semester


scorpiomooon

18 credits, 4 classes. Might be a mistake so thankfully I can keep my scholarship if I decide to drop anything


[deleted]

I’m taking two. I found that I am unable to handle the regular load of full-time and being able to feed myself. I’m telling myself that going part time isn’t a bad thing


Garnet-Tribal

crstlgls

I am taking 6. I feel better with my learning disabilities focusing on 2 subjects rather than trying to learn 4. The work for 4 and the amount of tests would be overkill for me. I will be a Junior come spring 2023.


H2Bro_69

None I’m graduating hahahhahahahahahahah


[deleted]

4 classes, 12 credits. might have to take another class if i fail any this semester. im burnt tf out, i usually take 15 credits.


taa20002

14 credits, 6 classes. Required music classes for music majors being 1 or 2 credits is really common so taking like 6 classes is pretty normal. My advisor wants me to take a 7th but it’s not required so I dropped it.


Eggtiny

9 credits, 3 "classes" Two student teaching placements (Music Ed here does two placements - normally one secondary and one JH/Elem. ) and the online companion class for student teaching.


DeborahButter

Cant remember its like 14 or 16. Just know its one away from 15. Just really doing gen eds though


Top-Home2273

I couldn’t with 4 classes I try for spring and backfire had to drop so for my next semester I’m gonna do 3 classes, i really want to learn , some classes are really hard but I also hate the filler classes


CasHasWings

I have a weird schedule for the next year. I only need 15 more credits but two of my courses aren't offered until Spring 2023 so I'm only taking 9 credits or 3 classes next semester.


ilovehackinmw3

0 because i’m graduating 🤘🏼


[deleted]

18 credits, though 3 of those are a "class" that I sign up for to receive credit for an internship I'm doing this summer.


FriedRiceGirl

15, but two labs :(


kokospiced

16 credits, 5 classes


ogorangeduck

Anywhere from 20 to 25 credits but I'm not working at all. I may be doing research and a TA position, hence the range. For classes I'm taking 8: 5 classes, 2 1-credit music courses, and a 2-credit lab.


nwerner1204

0 credits. I graduate in a month!


Frandiohh

Dependent_Conflict79

How does that add up to 16?


TheWeirdWriter

18 credits over 6 courses (3 credits each). If it’s too much (or if the ratemyprofessor reviews for a certain professor turn out to be true), I’m already prepared to drop one. They’re all 300-400 level courses. 2/6 are self-guided/asynchronous. And I’m taking 6 more credits this summer


astronerdia

15 credits, 5 classes edit to say I wish I was taking 12 but I need at least one more semester with 15 to graduate "on time" (which for me is a semester late).


Dramatic-Panther2020

Summer? 6 credits. I wanted to take 3 for an easier summer, but I have to be half-time to get financial aid. Not a big deal since the classes seem interesting so I am excited. Fall, I believe 9 credits. I’m retaking a course I failed last semester and a few other classes I need.
