The reason i asked this is because whenever i say that i want to major in EE, people say its hard. So I would like to have some input about it.

if you have to ask the question I am guessing you really dont have that big an interest in it. If you did you would be willing to work as hard as you had to in order to complete this major. Pick something you love :o)

Is Electrical Engineering Hard

You have to love it. If you love solving complex problems with a heavy dose of mathematics, and you love creating new things that involve serious technology, you should enjoy it. You must have the aptitude for mathematics through tensor calculus and vector analysis, at a "hit the ground running" level.
If you have those characteristics, then EE is a hard major, and so are all the sciences and engineering disciplines. If you don't have those characteristics, then it is impossible, and you should consider some other field.
As someone else wrote, if you are thinking in terms of what is "hard" or "easy," then you may want to join the armed forces or just get a job, at least for a while, until you find yourself thinking in terms of what is your passion, rather than trying to imagine education as a mechanism for setting an arbitrary level of difficulty--a "bar" to get across.
Good luck.

Depending upon your interests, any Engineering disicpline can be easy or difficult. I trained as a chemical engineer, and had difficulty with my civil and mechanical engineering overlap classes. So you can't say that one is more difficult than the other.
In general, people who struggle with any engineering discipline, have difficulty because they don't have a sound math background. All engineering majors stucy Calculus and Differential Equations. If you can't do these subject well, you will struggle in the Engineering classes, because it will be assumed that once you apply the Engineering principle, you will then be able to arrive at the answer, using the same math that all Engineering disciplines use.

yes it is,But if you like electrical engineering you will do it.Great things like to be a doctor,a lawyer,an engineer are hard but then in few years you will see the reward.Life is too short to do small and easy things lets do the great and hard things.That's the difference between successful and famous people and normal people,that they decided to do great things no matter if it was hard or not.GOOD LUCK!!!

College, in general, is hard. Engineering in particularly requires aptitude and discipline in math and logic.
If you are going to college for whatever is "easy" then you should probably skip college and your inevitable dropout.

Yes. But it is also a very good one.

Nope.
Pretty easy, really. Especially if you enjoy it.
It's only as hard as your intellectual laziness lets it be.
You cognitive miser, you.
