it really depends on what classes you take. i know that your freshman year they arent going to be that hard, but sophomore year is ****. school of B is no joke, so if you plan on majoring in anything business, then be prepared to work a lot and work very hard. I'm a freshman, so Im not too deep into all that Howard has to offer. Some of my classes are boring (thats inevitable with ANY school you go to), a couple others are really interesting, but I have this one class Im absolutely in love with, its everything I hoped to find at Howard (its an upperclassman course).... If you pick thought-provoking classes, you're going to get challenging course-work, if you pick easy classes...then you're gonna get bored.... I don't know if that is what you're looking for....
