You could always start out with one schedule and either work up or down from there when you feel you have a handle on college. Some semesters will be more demanding than others.

Other ways to help offset the additional costs of college include scholarships, financial aid, and student loans.

Really, the decision is yours. You know how you function best. If you can budget and manage your finances, you can probably get by with working fewer hours. However, you don’t want to put yourself into a situation where you sacrifice your scholastic achievements and personal sanity by taking on more than you can handle.
