It's January. Her semester hasn't even started yet. Colleges have a drop/add period at the beginning of the semester where you aren't penalized if you drop the class. I can understand the concept of signing up and then seeing how things work out after a week or so as some classes are a giant pain to get into.

Yes, I know that. The way the OP describes it just seemed to me as it being the "norm", taking several extra classes at the outset with the intent to drop a few. I just never experienced the drop option this way.
