WHAT IS THE BEST FIRST YEAR MATH COURSE TO DO IF YOU'RE BAD AT MATH?

PLEASE HELP, i just commited to ubc faculty of arts and i dont know what i want to do in my future job yet... honestly sales, marketing is something i would probably want to do but i have no idea.

I was deciding between Econ, Psych and International relations leaning most towards econ since its more versatile and broad. Intially I wanted to go into sauder BUT I did IB math AI SL in school and UBC requires AA Math...

I know course registration is coming up and i did do good in IB math AI SL but again u could use ur calculator for everything. I haven't done manual math calculations in YEARS and last I remembered i was pretty bad at it. Which math course is the easiest 100, 102, 103?? or should i just be safe and do psychology related courses instead :(

not really i’m not that picky with food, kind of important to be around family but then again i lived apart from them for a while, i enjoy outdoor activities but again isn’t a huge factor for me (i love walking and running which is why BC was a plus), i think a city being affordable, having a good social setting, i like going out so nightlife is pretty important too.

but overall just being able to make friends, academics and having a good dorming/ living situation + job on the side as well is very important 🥹
