it depends on the type of schedule you want. Think about the time of day that you are most effective. Are you a morning person or evening person then select class schedules based on when you can think and study best.
Always keep a to do list so you can be productive. Think and plan ahead at least a week in advance so that you are not caught off guard.
Understand your studying strengths and weaknesses. Come up with your method of studying that is most effective for you. Then keep perfecting it.
If something doesn't work then adjust it and try it out until you reach the best balance that works.
Start off your first semester/quarter with a medium load so you can see how you manage everything then the next sem/qtr you adjust to the pace you can handle.
Best wishes.

The best thing about college is that it is totally up to you and what you make it! Typically you take 5 courses per semester, that will be once, twice, or three times a week depending on your school, and the length of the classes. With that being said, that leaves a lot of free time during the week and on the weekends. Although a good portion of time will be spent studying, or doing assignments, it is typically not as scheduled of a day as high school is. This is great so that you can choose courses that you're interested in and do activities in your spare time like join clubs, sports, or hang out with friends! However, it also requires better time management, because you still have responsibilities and need to make sure you aren't spending too much time focusing on your social life and not enough time on academic work.

Sometimes your schedule is what you create for yourself.
For instance, the classes you take can determine your schedule and sometimes when the classes you take dont fit your schedule then you could check with the school to find out if the same course is offered in different semester!
Its also a great chance to explore interships and get some real world job experience - so before you graduate you can get an understanding of what type of company you would like to work for!
