The best answer for this is the usual "sort of". The college I go to specifically assumes that kids aren't ready to go full speed when they start college because they are adjusting to it. Because of this, they try to put alot of easy classes in the first semester. If your college does this, don't plan for it to really compare to your spring semester as far as time commitment goes. If your class throws a bunch of weed out classes at you first semester, then you might be able to ignore this post. Even then, no two semesters are alike. Some will always be harder then others. If your determined to be a part of FIRST and have more control over your schedule then I do, you might be able to arrange for the Fall to be the harder semester then the Spring.
Hope this helps,
Jason
