@allyphoe, “as much as possible” in depth or breadth?
At the extreme end, the Japanese unis make their students take a ton of classes, but they tend to be facile survey courses where almost nothing is covered in depth.
Meanwhile, at Harvard, you’d take only 32 semester classes total (4 each semester over 8 semesters). But do you get a lesser education there than at a non-selective quarter school where you take 60 3-credit classes?
