hazmat: I think what he was saying was that if you are taking 6 courses or more it’s quite difficult and considered to be quite an undertaking. The “usual” student at Penn would say that many classes is a difficult load to carry, unless the courses were easy of course. Many people including yourself are able to handle many challenging courses at once

I myself take four classes but only because I have so much work study (up to 20 hrs a week) that I need to do. If it weren’t for that I’d be shooting for 6 classes and getting the most out of my money and time, in my opinion. I am hoping next year’s aid will be better so I don’t have to work so much.
