Is majoring in chemistry hard?

[Edwin M]

I'll take any opinions.
Thanks.

Yeah, it's hard. That's why you'll get paid acordingly in the private sector. Communications degrees are a dime a dozen. Chemistry is actually useful.

Depends on where you go to college. At Texas A&M chemistry was not too hard. There were a couple of classes that were particularly hard for most people. P-Chem is usually considered the hardest. That's "Physical Chemistry" which describes the physics behind the chemistry.

If you go to MIT it will be hard. If you go to Arkansas State Community Agricultural Institute of Partial Learning then it should be no problem.

Yeah. Dude, Chemistry is the hardest of all science subjects in my opinion. I attended the University of Waterloo, a school with a strong reputation in the sciences, and first year science students were slaughtered by Chemistry. Every other subject they managed to get by but chemistry kicked butt all over campus.

Hats off to you if you're majoring in it.
