Is graduate school easier than undergraduate school?

Question

Zippia Team · Accepted Answer

Whether or not graduate school is easier than undergrad is going to depend on how well suited you are to the different circumstances. However, most are of the opinion that undergraduate school is easier, as it's both less rigorous and it's your sole focus, rather than having to balance your job and other aspects of your adult life.

That being said, graduate school is more focused. If you struggled with classes outside your major due to a lack of interest, then that isn't an issue in graduate school.

Also, you'll be more established and take fewer classes per semester. Many people go to graduate school at a more settled point in their lives, which takes away the uncertainty of trying to plan out your entire life.
