How to College

Q1: When is it too late or too expensive to change your major?

A1: So far, I think I've completely dedicated to my major. I know what I want to do and how I want to get there. However, I've also heard one too many stories about how people graduated with the major they originally they thought they wanted, but by the time they graduated they dreaded the very thought of it. Now, they're stuck working at a job they don't like in order to pay off their student loans. Because you officially commit to your major around your sophomore year of college, I think the end of your Junior year would be too late to completely change your major.

Q2: Would you get a better college experience by living on campus than living off campus?

A2: For some schools I'm applying to, living off campus would be cheaper than rooming on campus. However, I don't know if that would take away from the college experience. Part of me feels living on campus would build a deeper rooted bond with the school I'd be attending compared to how invested I'd be if I commuted. So far I've been leaning toward living on campus because I feel it would get me out of my comfort zone and help me experience new things and learn to live with new types of people.
