<p>You need time to walk to classes, grab food during the day too. As a Vis Com major, we have classes that are 4 hours long and no break sometimes, it varies from major to major, and you will be so focused on when that class ends that you’re not paying attention anymore… You might want to reconsider the 5 in one day. The most I have had in one day is 4 and that was my breaking point. College is different than high school. There is a lot more expected of you by professors. Give yourself some air to figure out what works best for you, I wouldn’t suggest to do this on your very first semester, maybe in the spring sure. 17 credits is a normal load, too.</p>
