I had 1 elective first year and I chose economics. When I met with my faculty advisor in August he thought I was nuts (considering the 32 hours of class/labs that I had, which didn't even include the elective).

I busted my ass and did fine - but I should have taken his advice (which was to take the easiest elective {as opposed to the hardest, which was economics):

Psych 025

----

So take psychology - apparently it's the easiest (according to some old electrical engineering PhD guy)...

In addition - I took socialogy as an elective while doing 2nd year studies (I found it much easier than macro/micro economic theory) and after discussing it with friends who took psych - psych was easier.

Should have listened to my faculty advisor (stupid me)...

i took quite a bit of electives.

ligusitics - pretty easy
philosophy of science - very easy
Risk assessment - easy
i don't even remember the other ones.

my program was very elective oriented.

Started out as a Human Bio. major
In my first year, I took one Philosophy course as an elective.
Ended up as an English major/Philosophy minor.

Watch out, you may like your electives too much.

Yea, i'm going to end up with a political science minor. I think it's better to take enough of something you like in order to get an additional minor, instead of taking a bunch of pointless bird classes and learning nothing (and having that crap on your transcript). Better to put in a bit of extra work (not too much ) and have something extra to graduate with.
