Easiest classes to tackle at Northeastern University?

Hey everyone, I'm currently a junior in high school, and Northeastern University is one of my top choices. I want to plan out my possible college schedule wisely. Has anyone heard what the 'easy' or 'less stressful' classes are at Northeastern?

Hello! While it's a great idea to plan your college schedule in advance, keep in mind that the "ease" or "stressfulness" of a class can greatly vary depending on the student's individual skillset, interests, and work habits. However, there are some general courses known for their more relaxed nature, according to Northeastern students.

For students across different majors, a class like "Psychology at Northeastern" (PSY 1000) has been touted as thought-provoking and engaging but generally manageable in terms of workload. The course is related to psychology, but it doesn't require a significant science background, making it an intriguing option for many students.

For arts and humanities students, courses in the Art + Design department like "Color and Composition" (ARTF 1122) often receive high praise for their hands-on, creative approach that instills skills without overwhelming workload.

"Interpersonal Relations" (COMM 2304), offered by the Communications department, is also frequently recommended. This course dives into the dynamics of human communication and relationships, making it both intellectually captivating and generally quite relatable for many students.

Finally, "Principles of Marketing" (MKTG 2201) is known to be fairly straightforward and provides helpful practical knowledge for students in various majors.

Remember, the perception of a class being "easy" or "hard" is subjective and heavily depends on your personal interests and abilities. You should strive to balance your schedule between challenging, major-related courses and others that might be more manageable or fun for you. Also, take advantage of rate-my-professor websites, where you can get valuable insights from previous students about particular classes and professors at Northeastern.
