Need my free time - Which college majors are less demanding?

Hey peeps. So, I'm ramping up my research into college majors and just had to ask - not gonna lie, I'm a bit of a procrastinator. Are there any majors where students tend to have a bit more free time than others? I value my hobbies as much as my academic pursuits, so just curious! Cheers.

While it's great that you're considering balance in your college life, remember that difficulty can vary greatly depending on your strengths, interests, and the specific program at your college. That said, there are some majors that tend to have fewer contact hours (time spent in classroom) than others.

1. Business - Many students report having a reasonable workload in business majors, such as Marketing or Management. The content can be complex but there usually isn't as much heavy reading or lab work as there might be in other disciplines.

2. Social Sciences - Majors like Sociology, Psychology, or Political Science tend to have more reading and writing assignments, but fewer hours in class, so you can manage your schedule more flexibly.

3. Humanities - Majors like English, History, and Philosophy often involve a lot of reading and essay writing, but lectures and seminars are typically fewer than more intense majors, leaving you more time to balance other activities.

Again, what seems less demanding to some may seem quite tough to others depending on your preferences and skills. Ensure any major you select aligns with your career goals and interests, not just free time. After all, you're more likely to succeed (and find the workload manageable) if you're enjoying what you're studying. A good strategy might be to pair a major you enjoy with a minor that complements it and offers you a change of pace.
