I'm an athlete and I'm kind of worried I won't have time to do any sports, whether recreational or varsity, and different clubs as I'll be juggling 6 courses. Is the amount of time needed to do the work exaggerated? Will I have time to do all these things? Thankzzz.

Your schedule gets adjusted? Really O.o, and if anything I was thinking of badminton.

I'm not sure but I think they get their courseload adjusted or something along the lines since there are varsity requirements for practice, training etc. But that is only if you are on the school varsity team. Maybe I'm wrong and they still take the full load.

Varsity athletes are recommended (pretty sure it's not a requirement) to take 4 courses per term.
