Favorite class in college?

Hey everyone, I'm currently a junior and there are so many potential majors out there. I'm really curious, what college course did you enjoy the most and why? What made that class so interesting? Maybe hearing about others' experiences could help me decide on what I'd like to study.

In college, many students found their favorite course to be one that sparked their intellectual curiosity, allowed for deep engagement with material, and was taught by an enthusiastic, knowledgeable professor. So, your favorite class could be very dependent on your individual interests and the style of the professor teaching the course.

For example, some students loved their introductory psychology classes. The subject matter is usually quite engaging, and it explores how human beings think, feel, and act. The course often prompts students to consider the motivations behind human behavior and challenge their preconceived notions. If you're interested in understanding people and their behaviors, psychology could be a fascinating study.

Many students find value in courses outside their initial interest areas, too. For instance, a course in philosophy or ethics may push students to think deeply about moral systems and challenge their beliefs. These kinds of subjects often improve critical thinking and analytical skills, which can be valuable regardless of any major you might choose.

In the area of STEM, some students found computer science courses to be particularly satisfying. These courses usually involve problem-solving and may offer a good mix of theory and hands-on coding experience. It's not just for those who want to major in computer science, as these skills are applicable in many sectors.

It's really all about finding what intrigues you and aligns with your future goals. Consider trying courses in varying fields and see where your passions lie.
