In my opinion, 15 hours is enough for the first semester freshman year. Get used to being away from home for the first time, juggling all there is to juggle on your own and managing college course work. For some, college classwork is a big difference from high school academics and takes some getting used to. Plus you want to be able to have some time to experience all the fun that takes place in Blacksburg! Is there a reason you need to pile on the hours? Double major perhaps? You still should have plenty of time to add more hours in the future…don’t put yourself under too much stress right off the bat. Just my 2 pennies. Good luck to you this year!
