This raises a point that may benefit some other posters - make the first quarter/semester a lighter than normal load even (and especially) for those with heavy majors like engineering. This allows more time to adjust to the different life of being a college student, allows more time to realize and get used to the workload of heavy college classes - different than HS, and allows more time to interact socially. In the scheme of things taking one less class the first semester has a negligible effect on the graduation time.
