Yea how tough is english and literary studies, old and current student please share ur thought

It's not tough if you love it or learn to love it.

It's really interesting but you will read a lot. If you read extensively, it won't be so tough. Enjoy!

It's one of the toughest courses you can ever study because it's a mix of English Language and Literature. In English language,you are learning a foreign language and how to write and speak it properly; the only problem you might have may be in Phonetics&Phonology(pronunciation& transcription), other branches are quite learnable and readable. For Literature, it's far more than reading novels or plays or poems like many people claim. It is courting and marrying your literary texts, you must read the text page to page, front to back, in and out, like you must be in the spirit to be able to analyses and pass judgement on a literary piece. Ypur literary texts would speak to you at some point. Literature would tell to interpret a text and get be objective. But all in all, English Language and Literary Studies is the best course(if you are in the right school with the right lecturer) you can ever study in the university. All other courses rely solely on language(English is widely used in all spheres of human life)and literature, that's why studying it makes you a BIG FISH.

English Language and Literary Studies will make you more critical and objective to life.

Oh!!!!! I forgot to add,you must be ready to write lengthy analysis both on English and Literature courses. In humanities, you WRITE.
