Toughest majors?
Hey all, just wanted to get your opinion on what you guys think are some of the toughest majors at University according to you.

I hear nursing is mad, with rotations and classes.

Well, everyone will be giving you very subjective answers. For me, most majors under the faculty of Social Sciences and Humanities would be tough for me since I cannot write nor like to read a lot for the life of me.

since I cannot write

Boy, University requirements really gotten low lately don't they.

But yeah I agree. Somehow, hard majors are the ones you take.

Since most of us only have one major, this is kind of a hard question to answer, since most of us only have experience with one. We can only speculate about the others. And also, everyone has different strengths.

That being said, I think engineering looks really difficult. I know I could never do it!

Most people seem to feel that their own major is the hardest and/or most work. Which is stupid, really, because if of all the subjects it's the thing you find the hardest, what are you doing in that major?
It is definitely possible to really like something that you have a lot of trouble with, but in most cases that isn't exactly something you want to be doing the rest of your life. It's nice when people say ANOTHER program seems difficult because that's not where their strengths are.

I fixed your post which I quoted above to prove how incompetent I am.

Haha, nice one. I should have clarified in my post what I actually meant, but I'll leave it to you to interpret it as you please.

some engineering looks a lot harder than other streams, but they all prob take lots of time

chembio looks hard

chemistry with specialization looks hard

physics with specialization looks hard

engineering, chem, physics seem hardest to me.

I'll try very hard, just for you since you seem to have a thing for it.
