Most Credits You've taken Vol. is this a bad idea

[blazinrook]

What's the most credits you've taken while still managing to get good grades?

I have 15 Units right now...

10 of which I'm going to have to earn.

5 of which should be cake.

and I'm thinking of adding 3 more units, which should also be cake, for a total of 18.

I managed to handle 14 units with relative ease last semester and I want to continue to progress this semester...

Anyone have experience on this? Would you advise to do this or not?

17, maybe 18 if I decide to take this honors microbio discussion course.

Not too bad. None of the classes are "easy" per say, but nothing too difficult aside from my sciences. Im more than happy with memorizing tons of info, dont mind it at all.

I'm at 20 right now, senior project included, along with working 20 hours a week with a EIT (my fellow engineering students know what's up) test prep course.

ive taken 18. The degree of difficulty depends on the classes though.

I was ready to graduate. So I took 21 c.hrs all senior level or 4000 level classes my last semester. I had very little social life but I got A's and B's and felt great that I could maintain it the entire time. I even had to get special permission from the dean to do it because my GPA sucked.

16 and it was not the business. My GPA suffered 

Some people can do it and some can't. i'm not one of those people that should be taking more than 12 credits tho.

I took 21 credits one semester. It really depends on your major/if you have a job.

17 credit hours twice.....one of the semester, all my classes were either hard sciences or engineering classes.  Social life suicide.

Came out with a 3.57 for the semester. You just need to sacrifice. A lot college students want to party more then they want to be successful.
Like another NTer said, not everyone is about that life. I wouldn't take on more than you can handle.
