<p>After she got into NU, my D found out that their BS degree in theatre does not require any foreign language! After suffering through several years of German in high school, she could not be more thrilled. She is the sort that found BC Calc easier than first year of a foreign language–she just doesn’t have the head for it. So having no foreign language requirement for her BS degree at NU is such a godsend for her! Anyway, it’s all individual. This is what I mean–look at each program’s curriculum. Do not assume that just because a school is ‘easy’ that the academics will be easy for your child. If my D had been in an ‘easy’ school but had been required to take 3 years of a foreign language, that would be have been misery for her.</p>
