I’m always amazed at students who assume that the level of instruction at a university is the same as at a high school.
Stay within a comfortable amount of classes to maintain a decent gpa. It sounds like you’re gearing up for a health field. All the more reason to get a decent GPA.

Don’t forget that if you are living on-campus, Mommy and Daddy aren’t there to do your laundry, or maintain your car. You need time to feed yourself, do your laundry, keep your dorm area clean, etc.
All of my kids and my former students were shocked at the speed and the amount of information that they needed to grasp, just to take the quizzes at their universities.
