<p>Hi.</p>
<p>1) As a freshman, can I take 1000 level courses or are they normally considered too difficult/advanced?</p>
<p>2) When studying abroad, how many course credits does one usually earn?</p>
<p>Thanks :)</p>
<p>You can if you qualify and meet the prereqs. I took APMA1650 and APMA1660. Make sure you can handle the workload while adjusting to college life and handling 3 other classes, though. Be sure to shop the course and see.</p>
<p>My understanding is one receives 4 credits a semester (but it may vary by country; Bologna has its own credit hour system, for instance).</p>
