Advice on Easy Classes at Lehigh University

Hey there, I'm going to be a freshman at Lehigh University this fall. Was wondering if anyone knew about some of the easier classes I could take to get used to the college expectations?

Hello! First of all, congrats on becoming a Mountain Hawk! It's essential to have a thorough adjustment process, especially for your first year in a new environment. As you're looking for some of the easier classes at Lehigh, I want to reinforce that "easy" can be subjective depending on your academic strengths, prior experiences, and interests.

That said, there are some commonly recommended general education or elective courses that are considered less demanding or inherently engaging, which can make it easier for incoming students to adjust to college academics.

1. Intro to Business: Diverse topics are introduced in this class, which can provide a comprehensive perspective on all aspects of business.

2. Freshman Seminars: These interdisciplinary courses are designed to enhance your critical thinking and provide a diverse academic perspective.

3. Psychology 101: This class can be incredibly insightful, interesting, and many find it not too overwhelming.

4. Art History: Usually considered less taxing, the classes also help you expand your cultural knowledge and perspectives.

5. Marketing 111: It's typically engaging and less difficult compared to some other business-focused classes.

6. Intro to Acting: An excellent class for developing public speaking confidence. It is light-hearted and filled with fun acting exercises.

Remember, aiming for balance in your course load is important to ensure you aren't overwhelmed but are still challenging yourself. You might want to mix in these classes with other courses toward your intended major or interests. Happy scheduling, and best of luck on your academic journey at Lehigh!
