Who Goes to NDSU?
-
kinda off topic but why do some people only take 12 credits when they can take up to 20 for the same price (as long as they aren't online)...i'm all for wanting to relax and not wanting a heavy load...but why not take 15+ credits or something...its free and will keep student loans down in the long run...that and you'll get done sooner...I'm not trying to bash people here, but just curious besides the obvious: more free time to have fun, work, etc...any other reasons?...Personally, I don't want to take below 18 credits again (i took 15 my first semester) because I figure it this way....after 2 semester's at 18 credits, that's one semester's tuition I dont have to pay later (6 xtra credits x2)...plus it puts you ahead one semester ahead for every full year you take 18/semester thus making getting out into the working world come sonner (and away from being a poor ass student for that matter)...Cost and time wise it makes sense to take more...but maybe that's just me...

I don't think the majority of NDSU students opted to go there because they were looking for the most rigorous academic challenges available to them.
I'm doing graduate work there because its "good enough" and I don't have to quit my job or move. I'm taking 1 class a semester because I'm aware of my own limitations regarding effort, procrastination, and competing interests.

I have 15 credits right now and that's 5 classes, which is just right I think.
Plus, most people in college have a lot of bills to pay so they have to work. I work as many hours in the summer as I can to minimize the amount of hours I have to work during the school year, but I still have to get 25ish hours a week just to pay bills. If I took any more classes, I'd either fail or have to work less.

It's different when you're taking a Political Sciences/BA major vs an actual rigorous course load...
This dis was intended for Torbs only, any other PS/BA majors disregard that sentence

I would have to agree. Taking 18 credits worth of 100 level classes is a lot different than taking 18 credits of 400 level classes. I find that with 4/5 classes I am able to do much better in each individual class and don't feel overloaded. If you can take 18-20 credits worth of harder classes the more power to ya, but I personally can't. -

I'm taking 16 of all Busn and Acct 300 and 400's I dont think I could handle anymore...I think even this is gonna be a rough semester, and school is usually pretty easy for me.

Part of the reason I'm not in school anymore was I was taking 18 credits, and couldn't perform in all of them. All my generals are done, but my major courses suffered because of it.

That would be PHRM551L, the Concept Laboratory. We also make IVs and lotions/creams/ointments. Remember that cream I gave you for that rash you told me about... Oh, sorry, forgot that was a secret...
