One-stop site for comparing typical course loads across several schools?

my kid thinks it matters because she sees college as her last chance to learn as much as possible about as much as possible

Same for mine! Her college allows 4 courses per semester with rare exceptions. Coming from high school where she took 5+ academic courses per semester that meant she had to drop something. In her case, sadly, it was the foreign language.
