I'm currently a freshman in Highschool. I was searching some information dealing with college. I want to take Computer science for SURE. I always want to take other courses like Physical Sciences. I want to also learn physical science because you never know what could happen, and knowing a little about the geography you could be more prepared for geography problems.

Different schools have different limits for how many credits you can take at once.  You would have to look on the school's website or ask the admissions office. Just remember, you don't have to take all the classes at once, you're going to be there for a few years.

My college only allows I think 17 credits and if you wanted to go over then you have to get permission from the school which is usually denied. General, beginners classes are 3 credits, as you get further into your college career like your junior and senior year there are 4 and 5 credit courses, so you could end up only taking 4 classes. And just because you can take 5 or 6 classes does not mean you should. It's nothing like high school. You may not be getting homework but a lot more is expected of you and you can become overwhelmed and fail or have to drop classes. Which is a waste of money. You've got lots of time to learn that though lol only in 9th grade!

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
