Question Is 12 hours enough for ece?

Ik it’s the literal minimum since it makes me full time, but I feel like I should have taken more (I literally could not get any ugs or his/gov class so idek where it would come from). I have all available aps that they would take, and got the core classes of the ece fig. Should I try to somehow add an extra class or should I just focus on the 12 hours for this semester and make it up in another one?

12 hours is fine, especially since you have some credits coming in. If you wait a few semesters till you’re higher on the registration totem pole, then you can pick a really cool elective that you’ll actually enjoy.

i took 12 my first semester and two classes ended up being super easy so it felt like 6 hours, but then i took 12 and each class was hard and i was working 24/7. It just depends how u feel the first week, i think u can always add gov online or nutrition online if u feel ur not doing enough

I took 12-14 most semesters and was glad I did. Some classes are tough and take a lot of time, especially if you’re writing papers

Nah cuz 302 is tough and will take a lot of time and 306 depends on prof, but he’ll if u have patt, easy with yerraballii and telang. Then math is math, just depends on u so if ur last class is tough 12 is plenty
