I'm considering Boston University for my studies after high school, and was just wondering what some of the 'easier' classes might be? It's not that I'm trying to take the easy route, but coming from a pretty rigorous high school, I'd love to have balance during my transition to college.
Boston University indeed has a wide variety of courses, and while the level of difficulty can be somewhat subjective as it depends on one's interests and strengths, there are courses which traditionally have been viewed as less demanding. Here are a few known as refreshing and relatively lighter courses:
1. CAS PS101: Introduction to Psychology - If you're interested in understanding people's behavior and the mind, this might be enjoyable for you. It covers a broad range of topics and doesn't require extensive background knowledge.
2. MET AH 111: Survey of Western Art I: The course walks you through various periods of art history and requires no prerequisites. It's generally seen as a beginner-friendly class to fulfill the humanities requirement.
3. CAS EE 105: Crises of Planet Earth: If you have an interest in environmental studies, this introductory course might be for you. It requires no prior knowledge of the subject.
4. CAS SO 100: Principles in Sociology - It covers a broad range of societal topics and doesn't need any prerequisite classes.
Remember, the key to a successful college transition is balance. Use your first semester or two to explore a variety of topics that interest you, take advantage of these introductory classes, and familiarize yourself with the collegiate level of study. Then as you become more comfortable, you can begin to take on more demanding coursework.
