How can you tell whether a school would have easy or difficult classes?

If you use college websites such as niche.com, you can look at colleges based on academics, their methodology does not solely use the difficulty of classes but it is the most helpful source I know of. I hope this helps!

I'm not a religious person at all, but one of my teachers once mentioned a University that had an excellent curriculum for what I want to major in, but I saw on their website that it is a religious college. So, would the fact that it is a religious college mean that I would be required to participate in religious activities?

That depends on the school. However, for the most part, a private religious college will have some sort of mandatory religious practice or class, although checking on the college website/calling their admissions offfice will clear up any confusion.

Video transcript

- One thing that helped me decide on which colleges to explore was I visited. I visited different types of school: Public, private, and religious. And I saw how the students interacted and just the diversity and the size of the school. The curriculum. I asked about the curriculum when I visited, because that was a big factor for me. I didn't want to go to too easy of a school, and I wanted to know if I was heading into a challenge. So when I took that in I just really was looking for a diverse, somewhat smaller school. And then what really helped was the financial aid package. That's always a helpful, deciding factor is the financial aid.
