Intensive chinese is a lot of work if you have no experience beyond just speaking skills. A portion of the kids who end up in there are simply not able to qualify for third year, but already have Chinese school experience or communicate verbally at a high level already. I struggled a bit at the beginning but it got better later on. You simply adjust to the courseload.

My only caveat with language courses is that they don’t count for extra credits, since the time spent in and out of class for a subject like Chinese is many times greater than any standard humanities class.
