Is majoring in Biology difficult?
Majoring in the sciences indeed has its unique challenges. The biology major has many more prerequisites than other majors, and the courses require hard work. Science majors also have a more linear series of courses than humanities, making scheduling often more rigid. The long walk up to Science Hill is for some a challenging aspect, and for others, a welcomed, relaxing walk during the day. Senior requirements are different for those seeking a BS degree, since research project is required instead of a formal senior essay. With those concerns in mind, most biological science majors would not want to be doing anything else, and find it a captivating field of study.
