KSU is 132 credits, that's 16.5 per semester average.  So anyone with any
sort of outside obligations, extra curricular activities, work or family
make that sort of load unrealistic.  Change that to a 5 year curriculum and
it's 13.2 much more manageable, plus you come out still knowing how to talk
to people and don't shy from the sunlight.  GRiN
