I think it varies with people… I mean I know some people who had only three subjects in A levels and where like ‘kill me :/’ and others who seemed to have enough free time even if they had six subjects and were a member of every ECA club x-x. Some people are so used to doing a lot from a young age that it’s just ‘meh’ to them while for many of us, even the most brilliant of students, it can seem like a lot of work when you put everything together. I just find it odd that while there are many people discouraging me to take more than four courses for my first semester saying four is bad enough even if it’s normal… I see others saying ‘loads of free time’ with that. Maybe it’s just the way of approach or about the changes that they have to go through to fit a typical college life in place of their previous high school life… which would vary largely with which country you had been in, what courses you took, your school and your personal life back home.
