Having trouble picking a first year science subject (BSc)

Any ideas on an easy science subject? I've heard calculus 1 is quite easy.
Also, if your under the BSc - Are you able to take 2 core subjects and 2 breadth subjects? (or is this a myth?)

mind, brain and behaviour subjects are fairly easy i've heard if you put in the work as its multichoice exam which is good for some.

and yep you can structure your degree like that, i did three breadth, one elective and a core subject last semester! haha

does that mean, with your 3 breadths. to my understanding you do 4 breadths. you have 1 left? :S or can you do as many as you want?

and by doing a subject to a relevant course such as: say for an example, doing accounting in the BComm course. will it up my chances into getting into Bachelor of commerce?

you can do a total of 6 breadths, i did 4 of these in my first semester, rather than spread it out in my degree like the normal rest of people.

I did mind, brain and behaviour (under a different name a few years ago), and it was easy (I crammed all the material the night before the exam).
Highly recommend!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have a friend who did calculus 1, didn't do too well. I think he screwed up the 80% exam. My brother however, found it to be really easy, he banked a 97% or something. I guess it depends... just don't miss the lectures.
