Advice on the easiest classes to take at LaGuardia College?

Hey everyone, I might be attending LaGuardia College after high school and I've heard it's quite rigorous. Could anyone share the easiest classes to take there that would also be beneficial? This can help me plan my course load better.

While it's natural to be concerned about managing your course load, it's important to remember that 'easy' can be subjective depending on your personal strengths, interests, and previous background in a subject. That said, I can definitely provide advice on some considerations that might help lighten your load or make your transition a bit smoother.

1. Introductory or survey classes can often serve as a good starting point in adjusting to college-level coursework. These classes offer a broad overview of a subject and can be less challenging than upper-level courses.

2. If you already excel in a certain subject, consider taking relevant classes in that field. This approach can ease your load as you'll likely encounter familiar concepts and territories.

3. Look for classes that might fulfill multiple requirements. For instance, a course may count towards your general education requirements and your major/minor. This could reduce the overall course load.

4. Check professor reviews. Sometimes, the professor teaching a course can make a significant difference in how challenging the material is. Websites like Rate My Professors can be helpful resources (although reviews should be taken with a grain of salt as they can be biased).

5. Public Speaking, Personal Finance, and Basic Computer Applications are often considered lighter yet incredibly useful courses that many students opt for.

6. Don't hesitate to consult advisors at LaGuardia College. They can provide more tailored advice according to your major and career plans.

Balancing rigor and manageability is key to a successful college career. Instead of just looking for "easier" classes, another strategy would be pairing more demanding courses with lighter ones. Remember, college is also about challenging yourself academically and growing professionally in your chosen field.
