As everywhere: It depends on the university, the professors, and your specialty. There are universities and professors where it is pretty easy and there are universities and professors where it is really hard.
I suggest to look up multiple master thesises from the universities you have on your short list. They should give you an impression about what will be expected from you. Additionally it might make sense to check how the master studies are exactly structured - classes, seminars, practicums and home work.

Hard can have different meanings. If you were to ask me if basketball was "hard" I would say yes. But if you were to ask me if history was hard, I would say no. On the other hand the "difficulty" of a particular degree at a particular institution compared to other institutions is directly related to the value of the degree. Diploma mills don't give you much value. Quality institutions may make you work harder, but you come away with a relatively good education.

I would suggest you look at Peterson's Guide to graduate schools or some other guidebook and see where the best value is for the area in which you wish to obtain a Master's degree.
