Hey, guys! I'm going to be a freshman at the College of Charleston and was wondering which classes are considered as 'easy' or 'light' to balance out my tougher courses. Any insights?
Hello! While I don't advocate selecting classes purely on the basis of perceived easiness, having a few less-demanding classes in your schedule can definitely help manage your workload. That said, what constitutes an 'easy' or 'manageable' class can vary greatly from student to student, depending very much on their individual strengths, interests, and prior background in a subject area.
Many students often find introductory level courses in subjects like Sociology or Communication to be on the lighter side, but again, it depends on your personal interests. Some students also recommend PE classes, which can not only lighten your academic load but also provide a fun way to stay active and meet new people.
One class that seems to come up frequently in conversations about the College of Charleston is EVSS 199: Intro to Environmental Studies - with students claiming it's approachable, well-taught, and not overly burdensome on the homework front.
For more tailored advice, you might want to speak with an academic advisor at the College of Charleston or connect with upperclassmen once you get on campus. They may have insights into which professors are particularly engaging or which classes are less demanding. Don't forget, "easy" doesn't always equate to "uninteresting" - the perfect class for you might be one that sparks a new passion!
