<p>^I’m not saying that it’s easier.</p>
<p>But it is all relative. If you don’t have people skills, being a theatre major is going to be extremely difficult. If you don’t like arts or theatre, then being a theatre major is going to be a heck of a lot of work.</p>
<p>Mind you, I have lots of friends in ‘difficult’ majors. I know how much work they put in. All I’m saying is that a Theatre major requires way more work than most people imagine. People see a finished product of a play. They see two hours. They don’t see the weeks and months of rehearsal, the number of meetings that go on, the warm ups before performances and rehearsals, the time it takes to prepare for rehearsals, the time it takes to design, make, build, tear down, and rebuild sets and costumes. The stress load of putting on a show is extremely high.</p>
<p>Is it necessarily ‘harder’ than engineering or science? No. But that doesn’t mean it’s any less demanding. Time is precious and as a college student, it can be difficult to keep up with everything that’s required of a major.</p>
<p>Anyways, if you enjoy computer science, but you hate theatre, then theatre would probably be a lot harder for you than computer science. Same if it is reversed. Things tend to be easier, or at least seem easier, for people who enjoy them.</p>
