Hardest Class You've Taken in College?

I've heard that college is a whole new ball game in terms of academic rigor. Out of curiosity, what would you say is the most difficult class you've ever taken in college, regardless of the major?

From what I've heard from a lot of students, Organic Chemistry (often abbreviated as Orgo Chem) is renowned for its difficulty at many schools. This class typically follows a general chemistry course and delves into the properties, structure, and reactions of organic compounds and materials. A significant factor in its difficulty is the heavy emphasis on 3D visualization and understanding of molecular structures. It's a particularly major stepping stone for pre-medical, chemistry and biology-related majors.

Classes in Quantum Physics are another often-cited tough spot. Typically found later in the Physics major curriculum, they demand a deep understanding of abstract concepts, mathematical models, and calculations.

In the humanities, many students find upper-level foreign language courses to be challenging— particularly ones involving ancient languages such as Latin, Greek, or Sanskrit. The characteristics of these languages, such as grammar structure, syntax, and specifics of translation, call for rigorous study and practice.

It's important to note, though, that difficulty can be quite subjective and will often depend on personal aptitudes and interests. It is always advantageous to seek support when you find a class challenging, be it through study groups, tutoring, office hours with the professor, or campus learning resources.
