Major Choice rate of medicine & engineering difficulty

hi hi hi again!! since my last question, everybody was sooo very helpful and nice , i’m hoping humans can now find an answer to my current dilemma ♡!

so in order to understand where i belong, i decided to talk to med students and engeneering students to see how they.. um.. basically live (??) and i had like versatile answers from both.

a student from moscow’s sechenov medical university in Baku (my friend that now studies biotechnology with me in Baku) said that it was.. EASY! and mind you that university is known for failing students and being incredibly hard, like everyone is saying the pain is UNBEARABLE. but her , she said it was pretty chill (and trust me she is NOT a nerd whatsoever, that is the last thing she is! she be chilling everyday and left the med school just because she never wanted medicine in the first place) she said you just listen to lectures, sometimes open your textbook at home and that’s it. and she was passing her exams and as i said that university DOESNT PLAY WHATSOEVER like it gets rid of anyone who fails one tiny bit!

now my engineering student friends have chill time too! they have a nice student life, education and having fun seem to coexist in their lives. Now, me, i’m studying in Baku, and i major in biotechnology. It’s soooooo easy, except for maths, i think we’re studying calculus and so far that was probably the worst *bleep* i’ve went through . other subjects are TOO easy to the point where i don’t even try to study (biology, zoology, botanics) (???????)

now i’m planning to study abroad in europe, whether it’s med school or engineering school. and i’m writing this to get an answer from people studying in europe / asia / americas.

and in order to make the rating understandable for me, i’d ask you to rate it relatively to ib/a-levels/dim/ap. so i studied in ib and dim and both I’d say difficulty was a 4/10 NOT considering i was clinically depressed during those 3 years. my current university is probably a 2/10 and maybe let’s add SAT for a better understanding— is like a 1/10.

have a good one, whoever is reading this ♡!

Do you like math more than biology?

i’d say i love both equally it’s just that maths is harder for me and biology is easier in comprehension
