I'm doing a Joint Honours in Comparative Religion and Social Anthropology :smile:

Of the two subjects, I'm finding anthropology easier but it can still be quite challenging. There's lots of reading to be done and the tutorials/seminars are quite intense, especially if you've got a good tutor. My Monday morning lecture in Culture, Power and Language is usually quite good but Regional Studies on Thursday afternoons tends to send me to sleep! :smile:

The films are generally really interesting, although not always good is you're a bit squemish like me! One of the first ones we watched had some men who had been possessed by spirits foaming at the mouth and then ritually killing and eating a dog; it wasn't unbelievably graphic but I still had to look away from the screen :biggrin:

If you're interested in people above all else, then do Social Anthropology! It's a really good subject for opening your eyes and broadening your horizons. Also PM me if you have any other questions...
