Culpa and Course Load

Guys, I have a few concerns about the impact of CULPA and course load for new students. I have an upcoming academic planning session and I know some of these questions will be addressed, but I would like the perspective of students who have gone through it. After having spoken to Mr. Bailey regarding financial aid he advised me that, like for most other incoming students, the ideal number of credits to start with should be no more than 12. I am fine with this.

My preliminary “scheme” looks something like this: Introduction to latin, literature humanities, introductory chem, BIO II (or whatever its equivalent is). I will be conducting an intensive search of Culpa for recommended professors.

Is this a good courseload or will I be overwhelmed?

How difficult was the transition for students, specifically those coming out of community college? This is probably my main concern.

And how much credence, or weight, do students give to Culpa for registration? Does it serve as a be all end all or just as general guidance?

Thanks, from a neurotic pre-med.
