I work at a university so I will pull rank on you. The Computer Science/Business IT, Accounting and Engineering programs are brutal. Our largest school is the College of Business and half the grads are IT/Programming.
We don’t offer Underwater Basket Weaving majors. Even Theater majors graduate knowing how to do carpentry because they have to take Set Building.
If you want a “relaxed” college career, there are schools for that. Most of them are private colleges.

I'm glad. Not all schools are party schools, it just seems that way sometimes.

You are so correct, Appy!
My sweet wife gets tired of me hollering at the TV whenever there is some yakker talking about college in general and how meaningless it is.

I attended night school at a community college, transferred to a U with a mining school and completed my B.S. on the GI Bill. I worked in the industry every summer and every Christmas/Spring break.
There are still very challenging degree programs, most are a basic requirement for entering a technical career.
