+1. It’s the easiest

The intro classes are easy and interesting so it draws students in. But you need stats/research design as you move up as well as biology/neuroscience in most contemporary psychology programs. So I'd put it in similar level of difficulty as all the social sciences. Of course it varies by schools. Also, the other ones divide up somewhat--if you're interested in society, you can go sort of sociology, or anthropology or even government/poli sci depending on nuances in your interest. But psychology is the only social science that centers on individuals and their functioning.
