Full Course load
Im in my first year in social sciences and first term I have 5 courses and second term I have 5 courses. So I wanted to drop one course from first term since its going to be a little bit hard first semester getting used to university work load. What do you guys think? and will that affect the fees I already paid through OSAP.

I personally don't think you should have any problem with 5 courses. It is only 1 more then the typical highschool, and even then you don't have classes everyday. You shouldn't fnd any problem working around 5 courses

I was in socsci last year, and it's totally manageable. You'll find yourself with lots of free time actually.

I think you should be fine with 5 courses. But if you do decide to drop one course then this will lower your tution fees and you'll get a refund. This can also affect your osap entitlement and you will have to tell about the change by emailing at [email protected]
