I agree that it does depend on a lot of factors, depending on the person's characteristics, the program, school, degree requirements (not all schools are the same) and even the situations and place one is in their life. I have frequently asked myself this question for the past half decade or so when considering my major and those of others, while also considering the general lifestyles of those undergoing various undergraduate degrees. I recently completed a BS in Biological Chemistry with a minor in Chemistry at a state university in the US. The path I took was literally a complete combination of Chemistry and Biological Science (Biology), minus a few free subject electives.--In my college, Biochemistry is well known for being an extremely difficult program where 90% of students who declare Biochemistry as their major end up changing it to Biology. I wish I could pretend like it was easy for me, but it was very very difficult at times. I regrettably graduated an entire year early having done multiple summer semesters and winter intersessions. I can say with certainty that the more time you have, the easier it is, and it doesn't matter what field you're going into. It also depends on the teachers you have and whether or not their teaching style reflects upon your learning style. I had many professors who spoke very little English and did nothing but read power point presentations. I had some who were very hands on and made learning a lot of fun. In my experience, my all-time favorite course was Molecular Genetics (+ lab) which is normally a pretty rough topic. But the professor was just so enthusiastic and turned learning into entertainment. If you can turn genetic engineering experiments into something as fun as mud riding in a big 4x4 truck, it will be fun and easy.
