Also, what type of classes are we talking? If they're all 300-400 level courses, you definitely do not want to do it.

one extra class...it's anth 202 online, because i couldn't fit it into my schedule...so it's an online class at a CC, is that any easier?
so total:
1 class 400 level
3 classes 200 level (one in online)

if you do an even mix of easy classes and hard classes it shudn't be so bad. or if all medium classes, then it might be okay. If you require a lot of study time to learn things and you're taking all really hard classes, then that might not be the best option. Plus the only reason people pile on classes like that is to pick up extra majors or graduate early. Whats more important to you. Getting done early, or being able to have time to go to that random party some night? You'd prolly have to pick one or the other. Otherwise its a waste to pack in all those classes, then go to parties and wind up with C and D averages in everything.
I personally take the max number of credits I can (mainly now because i took a semester off and are a bit behind and because i dont drink or party) and just balance it out with taking one maybe two classes I think I could do easily but are required of me (like the english courses and math) then take one or two medium classes towards like my business degree, then pack in one maybe two courses that would be hard for me - the science classes and my honors/graduate classes.
...And just out of curiosity, what kinda school do you go to where just one more class is worth five credits? What the heck kinda class is that?

What kind of 200 Level Courses? I wouldn't recommend doing it with any of the sciences. However if it's Liberal Arts or a Behavioral/Social Science, it wouldn't be nearly as abd.

How much harder is it to take 20 credits vs. 15. Everyone says it would be so much harder, and you will have no free time, but it's just one more class right?
Has anyone taken 20 and what are your experiences?

I've been to four seperate schools on the east coast (NJ/NY region), and at every one of them each class is only 3 credits. The only class that counts as 4 is science (3 for class plus 1 for lab). But that 1 measily credit for lab equates to a 3 hour lab sciences on Monday Mornings or Friday afternoons ;/
in which case though, 4 classes seems like a rather light semester at 5 credits a pop.?

I believe the trimester system assigns higher credit values to their courses. This may be his case.
