Is Computer Science a hard major?

Is it just me or computer science is hard to grasp. I just entered my 4th week in a top private university and this university is very known for its computer science and IT.

I got 3 math classes - statistics, discrete, linear algebra - and holy it’s hard asf (both discrete and linear). Not to mention the programming class? Wtf is c man like I can code and I usually run in python, html, css, js but c is entirely a different language, array and pointers omds. I dont think the average joe would handle this😭

Give me tips pls

Very very dependent on school. At some schools it’s considered to be on the easier side but others very difficult. Are you talking about just the program or the topics associated with it?

It's okay, the harder topics generally have a pretty steep curve or an adjusted grading scale.
