so the average is fifteen but I'm going to be taking chemistry and calculus and those will be hard. There's a lot of homework at our school, it's like an ivy league, I have like 1 hour of free time with the homework this quarter with 15 credits.
should I take an additional 2 credits to chem and calc.?

Absolutely not.  15 credits a semester is plenty with average level difficulty classes.  More is excessive.  Focus on your harder classes, and give yourself a few minutes to have a life.

I mean the extra 2 would make 12 in addition to my chem and calc.

Stick with the Chem. and Calc. Are you crazy? That's a lot to be putting together even by itself. Don't put more onto it.

Oh I see what you're saying.  Aren't you not a full-time student if you are below 12 credits?  You may want to look into that.

I did in 1st and 2nd semester and it was fine, absolutely fine. You may check for your capabilities and decide based on that.

know what annoys me? when people assume that ivy league schools are any better than any other school. omg. maybe at one point they were better, or maybe it's just that they're older. you go to an ivy league school, you pay for the brand. you pay for the right to say, i graduated from this school.. because when people look at your job application they're going to say "oh this person graduated from Stanford and this other person graduated from a not so well known state university.. we should pick the stanford guy because he'll make our company look better". even if state university guy had better grades and would probably do a better job because, let's face it, stanford guy is probably a rich kid whose parents could afford to send him to a prestigious school.

sorry.. that bothered me..

on to answer your question.. if you feel that you can handle the work load.. by all means, take the extra courses.. if you think it's going to be too much to handle.. i'd wait till next semester. besides... you're in college.. it's about higher education, but you want to leave some time to have some fun too.. maybe have a little bit of a social life..

Take the extra classes if you can manage the load, even if it's a little busy. Because I'm assuming that not taking a full load means you'll extend your length of stay at your college, or make it harder on yourself in later semesters.

But if you think you're gonna flunk anything, then leave it.

You can probably take it then drop it early on if it doesn't work out. Does your college have a penalty-free period early in the semester where you can drop classes without any consequences (most do)?

It's really about how much you can manage. Saying that the course is hard or that your college is hard doesn't mean a thing.

oh, I didn't really know what an ivy league college meant. I go to a state school.
