<p>But if you overload on credits, it usually costs more. At my school, any credit over 16 per semester costs extra. As it is, I’m already having to take out loans even though I have about $15k in scholarships/grants. If I added 5-10 extra credits, that’s costing me more than if I waited another semester to put those on when I had more scholarships/grants coming in. On top of that, if you’re taking that many classes, there’s no way you can hold a job down too. If you can’t hold a job down, there’s no way of making extra money to reduce the amount of loans that you’re taking out.</p>
<p>I don’t know what the absolute maximum is for my school. You can sign up for 18 without an override. I got an override for 19 last semester with little trouble.</p>
<p>19 sucks enough. I can’t imagine 20+.</p>
