Manageable Classes at the City College

Hey friends! I got admitted into City College and I'm stoked. Alongside my main courses, I'd like some lighter classes. Any suggestions on which ones are the easiest to manage?

It's always a good idea to explore different classes in college to complement your main coursework. This can bring a balanced academic schedule, especially if certain courses are particularly intense. However, keep in mind that "easiness" can vary greatly from student to student, largely depending on personal aptitude and interest in a certain subject area.

City College offers a vast array of courses and it will indeed depend on your interests as well as what kind of intellectual stimulation you are seeking. Some students might share that classes in the Humanities such as 'Intro to Philosophy' or 'World Literature' were manageable and stimulating, while others might prefer a break from heavy reading and writing and opt for something more hands-on like a basic Art or Photography class.

Physical Education classes can also offer a great way to engage in physical activity and receive academic credit for it. From yoga to dance to swimming, there may be a variety of offerings that allow you to have a break from the traditional classroom setting.

Remember when registering for classes to take a look at the course syllabus if available, as this can give you an idea of the course load and expectations. It may also be helpful to chat with your academic advisor about this—they can give more personalized suggestions based on your academic plan, and they might know which professors have reputations for being engaging and fair.

Lastly, remember to check out student reviews of professors and classes when you're registering for your courses. Websites like RateMyProfessors are quite popular among students, offering insights about course difficulty, professor interaction, and other factors that might influence your choice.

I hope you find this advice helpful and that you have a fantastic experience at City College. Dive into the diverse offerings and find what works best for you!
