Looking for less intense classes at Lawrence University - any suggestions?

Hey everyone, I'm thinking of applying to Lawrence University and was hoping to get a sense of what some of the 'easier' classes might be. Obviously, I'm up for a challenge but would also like to keep some balance in my schedule. Can anyone offer advice?

Hey! It's wonderful that you're considering Lawrence University and thinking ahead about maintaining some balance in your class schedule. That being said, your definition of what you find 'less intense' or 'easier' can greatly depend on your individual interests, strengths, and major. Classes in subjects you love and are good at will likely feel less intense.

Here's a general tip though: introductory courses or survey courses tend to be less intense, as they are designed to give an overall understanding of the subject but are not intended to delve really deeply into the specifics. This could be something like Introduction to Psychology, or an overview of Western Art course, for example.

Also, classes which align with your hobbies, passions or pastimes can feel less challenging and more enjoyable. If you enjoy music, consider a basic music theory or appreciation course. If you like creative writing or reading, perhaps consider an introductory literature or creative writing class.

At the end of the day, I'd recommend speaking with an academic advisor or a current student in your intended major at Lawrence University to get a better sense of what specific classes might be a good fit for you. They could have some awesome insights to share! Remember, everyone's idea of what is 'easier' or 'less intense' is different due to individual strengths and interests. It's all about finding what suits you best. Good luck with your choices!
