One of the four classes is Anantomy 2. The most I took at one time was 3. I don't know how I'll cope with 4? Anyone took four or more?

The most I have taken is 6 as well. If you are studying full time, you really do need to take at least 14-16 hours each semester. Four classes only works out to about 12 hours (more if they include labs). This is considered a "light" full-time load.
Taking a good course load is actually good for you.
1) It will improve your time management skills. Having to balance the work from different areas at the same time is an important skill to learn. This is one of the many reasons why employers want college educated individuals.
2) It will force you to devote a full day's attention to your courses. This will keep your head in the game and allow you to really apply yourself. It is very hard to keep focused when classes are only a 'distraction' from sitting around watching TV and drinking all day (which is what happens when you only go to classes a few days a week for a few hours).
3) Also, taking a moderate load will let you graduate on time. Why did you go to college if you are just slacking off taking 3 courses a semester? (This is assuming you are full time and have no other responsibilities like family or another job). Don't get me wrong, college is a lot of fun, but you need to stop wasting your time and money and actually put in a little effort.

The most I ever took was six the first semester of my senior year because had fallen behind in my credits after having to drop some classes due to getting mono one semester. That semester I took the six course was actually one of my best in college and I made Dean's list for the first time.
Good Luck!!!

In the fall, I took 3 classes and worked full time. My 3 classes were English II, German II, and Government, and I made all A's. You can do it if you want to.

I rarely took over 12 + lab classes, hours because I was working full time while going to college and lab classes took up so much time.

In my sophomore year, I took 6. 5 a semester is normal for full time.

I take 18 hours every semester. That's 6 classes. It's not really that hard if you study.

I've taken 6 before. Just get you a calendar and keep up with all the assignments and tests. This way, you know what to concentrate on when. That way, you don't get overwhelmed. Hope that helps.

I've taken five and worked full-time. Know your limits, try to mix up different kinds of classes and keep a to-do-list/schedule etc...

If you organize your time properly, you can manage 4 classes easily.
