    12 credit hours per semester is standard full time, I think... for reference purposes.

    That's in the US. If I recall she is Canadian....

    Maybe, I don't think so. I remember during our orientation we were told to drop classes if we had part time jobs and such based on a certain hours formula, and my Learning Disability advisor told me to consider dropping a class at the beginning of the year. I'm going to talk to my TA tomorrow morning and find out where I go for more information and to start the process.

    I don't see whats wrong with steam when purchasing games, unless you mean to use their applet to download it.

    Doesn't Direct 2 Drive have a certain amount of downloads you are allowed to have for the game? I thought I remember something like that when I got the blood masquarade off their site.

    I get about 3x the download speed (about 1 megabyte per second sustained) out of Direct2Drive. And you unlock it once during install and never have to deal with them again after that.

    Honestly don't know about a download limit. I just burnt my install files to DVD.

    Assuming UofT works like here (an okish guess), she probably needs 9 credit hours a week to be full time in a semester, which is 3 courses

    I'm at York. The course I want to drop is a 9, but I'm taking two other 9s, a 6, and a 3.

    Even in the US different institutions have different criteria for a "full load"

    But I don't know of anywhere where 4 courses wouldn't fulfill it (unless they're some sort of weird 1 credithour course or something)

    Those are course hours? You're taking 36 hours of classes currently?

    A heavy load in college in the US is 18 per semester. People pushing hard to finish in 3 years will take 20 per semester.

    Ah, ok. Here they're basically synonymous. A 1 hour, 3 times a week class gets you 3 credits.

    The hell is this course hours system?

    UoT works on credits: Fullyear course is 1.0, Halfyear course is 0.5. To be a full-time student you need to have 3.0 credits or more worth of courses, anything less than that is part-time. You can have a maximum 5.0 credits per year, with 6.0 credits granted for a limited time registration early in the year if you want to add a 6th credit. And you need 20.0 credits to graduate.
