If lucky, you'll even learn something directly from the classes you take (but don't count on it). | ||

What happen? they generally tend to be a bit more laid back than your average science premed. that may just be due to the personalities of my limited sample size of people i know with that combo, but my personal guess is that because they are able to balance out their bio classes with non-bio classes, especially during their jr/sr years they tend to be able to focus more on their upper-div science classes since those are generally more time-intensive than business courses (both in terms of hours of class per week and amt of studying required) | ||

except when you get to the finals... then it's like 3 papers, 3 exams, and 2 class presentations F-F-F-F-F-FFFFFFFFUUUU... unless you're the type who can just blow things off. for me, it's stressful, and the absolute worst part of college. unfortunately, it happens twice a year, and never, ever gets any better. and then when you start applying for internships, you don't have summer to look forward to. I don't even feel encouraged to do my work because I don't get to go home right after finals. I gotta stay and do manager training for next year until mid June. This really makes college seem like no fun, but it's not always this bad. I don't handle stress well. Haha. | ||

I'm just finishing up my sophomore year as a Electrical Engineer and Virginia Tech. It's so stupid hard that I went from being a straight A top of the class student in HS to a pretty average B student. My GPA this semester may be as low as a 2.5, and I might have to retake a course or two. I think having goals is really important. I've noticed my GPA dropping as I've had less and less of an idea of what I'm actually trying to do. As with all things, it's an experience and your attitude will play a big part in how you view the experience. I know people who enjoy it and work twice as hard as I do. However, whatever you do, do the hardest thing you can and stick with it. The difference in salary and career options with an engineering (especially EE/CPE) degree over a psychology degree is outrageous. Just don't expect to have any non-ugly non-azn chicks in your classes. =P Also, in college you'll meet a lot of people. Most of them will be completely different from you. However, if you go to a fairly large school you'll still find a lot of people who have similar interests and outlooks. It also might take a while to find those people, but you will. | ||

To expand on this point a little bit, Join clubs that you are interested in (not the ones your future employers are interested), that will most definitely help. | ||

Biology is a useless major, at least here. Biochem is the real major you do, or premed. Any real job you'd have use for a biology degree, either of those two degrees is better suited for. It's actually a dying program because it's too generalized. | ||

First of all, why are you going to school? Is it enabling a future career in graphic design, or is it just something to do after high school? Keep focus on your main reason for going to school, or else you're just wasting a lot of money. Next comes the balance of a social life versus studying. You can certainly stay in all the time and study. You will probably graduate with high academic honors. Alternatively, you can meet many new people, join lots of clubs, get ultra-involved, and have less time for classwork. Most students, myself included, try and balance between the two. You will meet a lot of people on that continuum. They are independent for the first time and experience all the trials that come with adult responsibility. You make good choices, you make bad choices, and you have the opportunity to learn from yours and others' mistakes. Many options will be available to you. Choose the person you want to become and make it happen. Will it end up the way you envisioned? Probably not, but you will understand yourself and others better than you ever have. | ||

I like being creative designing though i am not those really good desinger but im getting there. i do want to be socially active as i am joing club and dorming. i heard if you dorm you get better grades rather than commuting? is this true? plus i heard graphic design makes a good amount of money There not really a "useless" major, if you are good at what you do, regardless what you study, you will most likely be "successful" (relatively, I guess) in life. I think you have the general misconception that you will learn lots of practical skills from the courses, but that's not really the case. You will learn much more through the interactions between you and your peers and on the job than what the courses could teach you. By "dorming", do you mean strictly living on campus because there are lots of off-campus housings that are just as close to campus. The effect of living on campus is largely dependent on the individual. Some people who are less social prefer to study by themselves, and living off-campus will often result in a quieter environment that allows you to focus better. The trade off is obviously the social aspect: both the partying and collective studying. | ||
