Hey all, I've been admitted to Boston University and I'm trying to figure out what classes to take. Which classes have you found comparatively easy?
Hey there, congratulations on your admission to Boston University! While it's great to seek out classes that are personally interesting and relevant to your major, enjoying a few "easy" or less demanding classes can really help balance your load.
First off, I’d suggest looking at some of the general education Hub classes – these cover a wide range of subject areas and many found them engaging without being too taxing. Courses such as SO 100 "Introduction to Sociology" and PS 101 "Introduction to Political Science" are often recommended, for the interesting content and manageable workload.
In the language section, SPAN 101 or SPAN 102 (Elementary Spanish) usually get good feedback; these are good if you have already taken Spanish in high school.
In the Questrom School of Business, SM 131 (Business, Society, and Ethics) is a popular choice, known to be engaging and not overly demanding.
A lot of students find CAS PH 160 (Reasoning and Argumentation) an easy and different kind of class where they not only earn credits but also pick up critical thinking skills.
Just remember, everyone has their strengths and areas of interest, so what seems easy for one person might not be the case for another. Make sure to balance your academic load and take classes you're genuinely interested in as well. Good luck!
