to fall into/under a category

Hello,
Which sentence sounds better to you?
- I am interested in things that fall into/under the category of camping, languages, and traveling.

I would go with "in". What do you think?

  • I think it wasn't one of the original choices.
  • You suddenly came up with a third choice.
  • I often use 'under', but I see no objection to 'into' (or 'in').

I didn't mean to. Can you detect any differences in meaning, Jim?

But I would definitely put categories in the plural!

I think Barbara is saying you should put "category" in the plural, i.e., use "categories" instead of "category" — not that you should put the categories in the plural (campings, etc.). You are mentioning more than one category, after all.
