<p>This is the only part I am going to disagree on you with. Many students (myself included) came from rigorous high schools which went in depth with material to begin with. Both semesters of freshman year I took 3 UHC courses out of my 5. I was fine. Many other students took 2-3 UHC courses per term as well. They were fine. If you, as a student, like the material and want to take the honors version, don’t let the advisor stop you because they think it would be too much. Only you know the workload you are capable of. And if 2-3 UHC courses is too much, you have the first two weeks of term to switch your schedule around and add/drop classes to your liking.</p>
<p>I really hate the discouragement of taking more than 1 honors course. If I hadn’t taken 3 (Engineering, Chem, Physics) I would have been extremely bored with my classes my first year. At least with the UHC classes I was able to learn new and interesting material instead of just rehashing the material I had already learned in high school.</p>
<p>Just wanted to throw that out there.</p>
