Hello everyone. I've been accepted at the University of Arizona and I was wondering if there were any recommendations for classes that are typically seen as easier? I want to ensure I manage my course load well especially in the first year.

A warm congratulations on your acceptance to the University of Arizona. Remember, what might be considered "easy" can greatly depend on your personal strengths and interests. That being said, here are a few course recommendations that many students have found relatively manageable.

1. PSY 101: Introduction to Psychology: This is a pretty standard introductory course where you'll learn about various aspects of human behavior and psychological phenomena. It's often perceived as straightforward, especially if you've taken a similar course in high school.

2. ENGL 101: First-Year Composition: Likewise, this is another commonly recommended course for first-years. It focuses on basic writing skills which can be quite helpful in your subsequent years.

3. MATH 107: Exploring & Understanding Data: This mathematics course, aimed at non-STEM majors, provides practical knowledge about understanding and interpreting data—a useful skill in today's data-driven world.

4. DNC 101: First Year Dance Experience: If dancing is your cup of tea, this course will be a fun and easier way to get those general education credits.

5. JOUR 105: Media and Society: This course explores the role of media in culture and society, which is generally considered interesting and manageable by most students.

Remember to check the syllabus and speak with upper-year students or advisors before finalizing your decision. Balancing easier courses and core, demanding courses is indeed a good strategy. Just make sure not to overlook opportunities to challenge yourself and engage with subjects that genuinely interest you.
