<p>@carlyk321 I think the difference in difficulty lies within the different majors, STEM majors tend to have harder and larger weed out classes. My DD is in a STEM major and her freshman roommate was a Communications major. My DD said there was a huge difference in the amount homework and studying she had to do compared to her roommate. A little advice…try to find a roommate in a similar major. It’s tough to study when your roommate is always wanting to go out and can’t understand why you have to do so much work :)</p>
