Course Selection at Boston College

Okay, so I've been accepted into Boston College (yay!). Now comes the tough part - picking classes. Anyone willing to share insights on the easiest classes there? Obviously, I need to learn and challenge myself, but there's also no shame in being strategic, right?

Congratulations on your acceptance to Boston College!

To start off, I would not necessarily encourage searching for the "easiest" classes. There is a vast array of interesting and stimulating courses at Boston College, and it's best to choose based on your personal and academic interests, as well as your major requirements.

Furthermore, one student's 'easy' class might be another student's most challenging, so it's subjective. However, you can definitely plan strategically. To balance your time, consider mixing classes from a variety of difficulty levels each semester. You might blend more rigorous, major-specific courses with general education classes or electives that are well-regarded and interesting.

If you're looking for classes that others have had positive experiences with, you might consider classes such as "Contemporary Social Problems" in the sociology department or "Understanding Music" in music department, which are known to be intellectually stimulating, but may not be as burdensome as other classes. These are just examples and these might not align with your interests, so it's important to explore the catalog yourself.

I would also recommend taking advantage of resources like older students, your academic advisor, and professor office hours. They can provide personalized advice based on your passion and career path. Reviewing the syllabus for each potential class can also give you a sense of the workload and expectations for each class. This can help you gauge if a class is a good fit for you.

Remember, a strategic schedule will bring a rich academic experience, viable manageability, and intellectual fulfillment. Wishing you all the best at Boston College.
