| Five can actually be a doable number outside the sciences/engineering. I'm taking five this semester as an Art History major and the only noticeable difference is I have more reading...which is expected. I'm actually in class A LOT less, and somehow have a few less pages in papers to write than I'm used to.
I think it can just depend on what classes you're choosing because if you decide to add Econ 55 on top of Math 103, Physics 53, and Bio 118, yes you're going to be miserable. BUT If you're adding like, a foreign language, it's not so bad.
You just have to manage your time well, and 5 courses can definitely happen. (Although I agree it shouldn't be a habit.) |
