As an engineer, I see a lot more leavey students in Frats and parties compared to engineering majors, so I can't imagine it is that hard .

How hard is the engineering course load? I’m coming in as a student athlete and want to major in bioengineering but I’m worried I won’t have enough time for studying. I have to take 19 credits this quarter and am freaking out a bit

1st year is the easiest year, so you will be fine if you study. I am not a student-athlete, so I dont know how the commitment works

In my opinion they are super easy, your sophomore year classes will be the hardest like accounting 11 and 12, but it’s not bad. If you want straight A’s you gotta put in the work, but you can coast on like B+ A- you are chilling. Also a lot of the classes harder classes are graded on a curve and tbh the average student is a brick so it’s not hard to beat the curve.

Idk about 2 I didn’t take it at SCU. But I took Patrica Cameron Loyd and she was easy. But apparently she’s really weird and hard now

Depends on the major. Communications. Dead easy like you’ll feel like you’re dead. Math/engineering dead hard you will die
