<p>OP here again…
I appreciate everyone’s input on this. It is interesting to read the different perspectives. My D’s interest is mainly in the sciences (nothing pinned down yet- likes physics, biology, etc), and I know those can be demanding majors. Demanding is fine, and I don’t think many of us here on CC would want to look for an ‘easy’ school, lol. Actually, my D tends to choose to do things because they are hard lol. But, ideally it would be hard because it is simply a difficult subject or difficult concept, etc…NOT because it is a difficult professor, or a difficult group of students to work with, or because there is busy-work eating up time needed for more productive things…but an easy class or two could be nice. lol</p>
