Easiest classes to take at a community college?

Hey folks, I'm considering taking a few classes at a local community college to boost my GPA before I apply to university. What are some of the easiest three credit classes I can take that would also be beneficial for my high school transcript?

Certainly, the "ease" of a class can depend a lot on your personal strengths and weaknesses. However, here are a few broad subjects that many students find manageable.

1. Introductory Language Courses: If languages are your strength, consider a beginner's course in a language you already have some familiarity with. Introductory French, Spanish, or German can have engaging curriculums and if languages come naturally to you, these could be manageable and fun.

2. General Education and Elective Courses: Classes such as Intro to Psychology or Sociology are typically catered towards a broad audience and might be easier to grasp.

3. Fitness Class: Physical Education units like yoga or swimming can be enjoyable and relatively easy to pass. Plus, these contribute to your holistic development beyond just academics.

4. Art or Music Appreciation: These types of courses are often survey-type classes and require no previous experience in the subject. You learn about different artists and art movements or composers and music periods, which can be engaging if the arts interest you.

When choosing a class, also consider:

- The Transferability: Ensure the credits from your chosen courses will transfer to the universities you plan on applying to.

- Relevance to Your Intended Major: Even if it might be challenging, a relevant course to your intended major can add more value to your application. So balancing between "easiness" and "relevance" can be a beneficial strategy.

Take these factors into account alongside your own personal interests to ensure you have a positive and enriching academic experience.
