<p>I’m considering some majors and was wondering what people think of them as far as how hard/easy and how much work they are. </p>
<p>Linguistics
Language Major (in this case German)
Philosophy
Polisci
International Studies/Relations
History</p>
<p>I think it depends on you… memorizing is easier for some people than for others, and also… learning languages is easier for some. In my opinion, it depends on which you like more -you’ll enjoy your classes.</p>
<p>I concur, difficulty really depends on the individual. On top of that, many majors can be made arbitrarily challenging by picking the tougher courses. So pick something you really like (or think you’ll like, as once you take courses your opinion may change) rather than something you think will be easy or challenging (depending on how you want your college experience to be). A better question you may want to ask yourself is what do you like about these subjects? What would you like to do with them after finishing your major? What aspects of these subjects would make you pick one over the other (aside from the subjective difficulty/work issue)?</p>
<p>I agree with the above posters that it really depends on the school, professors, class, student, support network availible etc. However, I will take a stab at rating the objective “difficulty” of them since you asked:</p>
<p>Philosophy/Linguistics
History
IR/IS/Poli Sci
Language</p>
<p>And regardless of what difficulty levels you perceive them to be, I wouldn’t factor those into your deicison.</p>
<p>None of those majors are challenging. Don’t worry.</p>
