I'm doing languages and tbh it doesn't feel at all harder but I haven't actually started my first essay yet.... The content is more complicated, sure, and things like literary analysis I have to work on but it is what I enjoy. I picked my subject for a reason and that same reason is why I love my work.
It is harder. But it is easier because you WANT to study it.
Just make sure your time management is top notch (or it may just be my uni....).
