<p>deciding on which language to take in college
any advice or opinions would be much appreciated!!</p>
<p>What are your interests and academic major?</p>
<p>Russian will be more demanding. I majored in it, and it was known to be a GPA-killer. It’s a beautiful language, and more valuable if you’re interested in a field like International Relations. Italian is also beautiful, and will be significantly easier if you’ve already studied a Romance Language like Italian or French. It will serve you if you want an exciting year abroad in Italy, but don’t take it as a means to an end - do it if you want to learn Italian. Either way, they are both languages with rich histories. </p>
