DU: How many classes is your sim taking?

The first sim I put through university started out with four courses his first term. At first I felt very overwhelmed, and despite finishing off that term with straight A's he had no social life to speak of and wasn't doing too hot overall. Second term I decided to tone it down a bit and picked two courses + one elective. But due to how hectic the first term was and I managed, the second term felt too empty since I was already in the mindset of a full course term. Third term I reverted back to four courses, but this time it was a breeze. His last term he only needed one credit to graduate so I also shoved him into the spirit corps, and he finally developed more of a social life.

His brother started out with three courses, but due to his scholarship he had to join the esports team on the side which was not so much hectic as it was annoying, poor thing only had Sundays off. I didn't re-enroll right away for the second term and he worked on his robotics skill on his own for a while before continuing his studies, without the esports scholarship. He finished his remaining terms in threes, and partook in robotics.

I'd say my happy medium is 3 courses (or 2+1 elective) if I'm also joining an organisation or have some sort of other activity on the side, otherwise I definitely prefer a full term.
