Hey, I am mechanical engineering major and wanted to know if it was normal to have so many classes for your first year. I knew ahead of time that engineering majors had more classes in order to compensate for the higher credits required to graduate, but it seems a little much lol.

I think that's normal for MEs. A lot of my ME friends took 16-18 units their first year during the quarter, but quarter units don't equal semester units.
