<p>They all require work. People say engineering is harder than humanities, etc…they’re hard in different ways but all majors require studying, time and effort. I’d love to see an engineer crank out 1000+ pages of humanities reading a week and a billion papers a week and have to memorize factoids and cause and effect info for exams…while many humanities kids wouldn’t touch math and science problems with a ten foot pole. And there are hybrid majors…ie many humanities/engineers and science/humanities. Humanities classes generally have no curve so the grades you get on your three papers is it for your whole grade. </p>
<p>See what I’m saying? It’s all hard yet enjoyable and VERY doable…if you pick the one YOU like. =] Then it will all fall into place from there. Bad mindset=bad experience…I know plenty of people who applied for BME “just because” and many have DROPPED BME because it wasn’t for them and they came in with the mindset of “oh I have to graduate from Hopkins with an engineering degree…” that’s silly. Always do what you’re interested in or else you’ll be miserable and never leave the library!</p>
