| No, you're fine with 12 units. I knew a lot of dumbos that ended up dropping out of college because they slacked off too much on top of their 18-unit schedule. Don't try to prove anything to anyone. Just keep it cool for the first couple of quarters until you find your groove.
One tip: don't worry about making friends quickly. more than likely by the end of your first year you probably won't be talking to them anymore. You'll meet plenty of girls here, so don't worry about that either. |
