Which programs is better business or kinesiology?
could any of you tell me which program is easy and fun? I have been accepted to both (business and Kinesiology) but can't decide which offer to accept? I have friends in business program and they were telling me not to take business. If someone could tell me a little about both faculties, that would be great thanks

They're two really different programs, you can't really compare them. It depends what you like and what you would like to do with your degree.

Yeah it's really up to you these programs are vastly different, one deals with human anatomy and musculoskeletal system and the other deals with, well, commerce. Pick one.

When you study something you enjoy, you will always be motivated to work hard, because you wanna know more and more about that course(s).

It's similar to eating your favourite dessert >>> because it tastes so darn good, you will keep eating from it until you finish it
This is similar to your situation, because when you study something you enjoy, you will keep working hard until graduation !

I would say if you want to have fun in your 4 years of university then go with Kinesiology, but if you want to make good money and have fun for the rest of your life then go with Business. Just my opinion though.

I once heard this 2 ppl in Kin on the Go bus, talkin about watching TV shows on getting home, and they were up to date with whole range of shows.
Watchin TV is last thing I can think about when you have test and 3 assignments due in one week.

Plus i have a friend in Kin, and she says its pretty soft. But what Thinker said is true.

Good luck making ur choice.

I hate it when people go into commerce because its "easy" and they think they will automatically do well. Go into something you like to do in your life. This is a decision that will affect you arguably for the rest of your life. Dont just go into something because of the money or because of job opportunities. I assure if you do it for those reasons, you will regret it later on. Take a step back and think, are you interested in one of the broad subjects of: HR, Accounting, Finance, Management, Information Systems or Marketing. If the answer is no to all 6, dont go into commerce.

Do you want to figure out how the business world works? Comm

Others have pretty much covered the whole go with your preference and what you enjoy thing, especially with 2 programs in 2 very different faculties. But also consider where you see yourself in 5 years. Do you want to work in the corporate world or are you more science-inclined and prefer being a kinesiologist/going into OT/PT (occupational/physical therapy)? Another minor factor you can look at is class size. Kin classes are mostly exclusive to kin students, so classes are generally small (~200 students entering each year) vs business classes which are bigger (not too sure about class size, but definitely >200)
