[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I went to Williams after attending a top MCPS magnet high school. I was told many, many times that college would be easy in comparison. This was NOT true in the end. Granted, I was a physics major, but college was on a very different level even for reading/writing based classes. The majority of my classmates went to normal public high schools and struggled at first, but were on track after a few semesters.[/quote]
I think very few people cruise through a physics major in general.[/quote]

That’s true. Math, Chem, English, History, and Philosophy also had a reputation for being very difficult. Tutorials were super challenging (but  equally rewarding) no matter the subject![/quote]
Yes, it’s always fun talking to people from non-lacs and relaying that history was one of, if not the hardest majors at my college too. First semester did an upper level history seminar and got destroyed in the process, but it was a good class[/quote]

My niece that is now a doctor (Hopkins) struggled in AP History. Always cited history as her toughest courses. [/quote]
