Hi everyone, I've been accepted into Boston College and I'd like to know the hardest course there according to current students or graduates. Just want to make sure I can handle it. Any feedback is appreciated!
Hey there! Congrats on getting into Boston College! It's tough to definitively say what the "hardest" course at BC is, as it can depend extensively on your personal academic strengths, interests, and the specific professors you have.
However, a few courses consistently come up when talking about challenging classes. Investigations in Molecular Cell Biology (BIOL 2040), Organic Chemistry (CHEM2231 and CHEM2232), and some upper-level Mathematics courses like Real Analysis (MATH 4401) and Abstract Algebra (MATH 4421) are often mentioned by students. They require a deep understanding of complex concepts, lots of studying, and good problem-solving skills.
Again, remember it varies heavily depending on your major, the professor, and your own skillset and work ethic. If you have an interest and aptitude for a subject, even a traditionally difficult course might turn out to be an enjoyable challenge for you.
I would also recommend reaching out to current students or alumni from your prospective major to get a better understanding of the specific courses they found challenging. You can connect with them on LinkedIn, through college discussion boards, or student organizations.
