<p>I actually enjoyed the core immensely and found that it boosted my GPA. However I have heard from various friends of mine that if you have no aptitude for science or math the core can be really difficult, and likewise, if you absolutely cannot write but are a genius at math the core is a problem. I don’t think there are any set easy courses (except perhaps for the romance language introductory levels) because so much of it depends on your individual strengths. I never considered myself to be very good at math or science, but I got straight As in my core math and science courses. I actually found them a lot easier than my major classes.</p>
