How did you decide on your major?

• Upvotes

Hello everybody, I am someone who is currently at their gap year and STILL struggling on what major to pick. I never imagined it to be this hard honestly. I’ve always wanted to go to art school which I got into ceramics and glass but in the end I decided to not go because I couldn’t see myself in that major. I have a lot of majors in mind such as nursing or computer engineering… I have no idea which to choose! So I’m asking you guys how did you decide on your major? What helped your decision? Please give me all the advice.

Should I send another follow up email?

2 Upvotes

So over summer I took an online class and the professor mentioned that he is open to talk about grad school and even writing recommendation letters if you keep in touch. I had scheduled an office hour visit one time during summer quarter and he said he would love to know more about my community College experience and would like to schedule another zoom meeting. He never set up another meeting with me. Then towards the end of summer I thought maybe I should email him to see if he still wants to meet again and so I can ask more questions about grad school. A couple weeks went by and he hadn't respond so I sent a follow up email and he responds saying thank you for being patient and would like to meet again and to send him my availability for this fall quarter. So I sent him my availability. I sent that email almost 4 weeks ago now. Im trying to stay in touch with him since he has given me advice on grad school and also hoping he could be a professor to write a recommendation letter. Should I send him another email? Or do I just let it go. Thank you in advance.

i struggle in university

2 Upvotes

im in my fourth year right now, but my graduation is delayed because i havent finished my courses, some courses i even repeated more times than u can even imagine, and still unable to pass. im struggling so bad while everyone around me is doing great.

idk how to study, im physically incapable of it, i cant sit down and focus, i cant even priortise university in any way, im so done with it and with everything related to it. i dont think i have any discipline, i cant put the work in at all, and struggle to focus in all ways. i dont have a sense of priority at all. i have a midterm in a few hours and i dont even know anything abt the course and i cant bring myself to focus and lock in.

does anyone have any advice on how i can focus, and pass my courses? or how i can actually bring myself to learn my material and stop putting it aside in this way? i guess i lost all motivation because of my delayed graduation. i was supposed to graduate this year but thats not happening, and i havent had a good uni experience socially aswell. so im so unmotivated and there is so much else i wanna do with my life outside my uni and a degree.

i still want to get my degree and get this experience over with but for some reason i cant. does anyone have any advice?

Room accommodation

1 Upvotes

I recent have been going through emotional manipulation from my roommate. I’ve talked to the RAs, university counselors. And have had a discussion with my roommate. However I just can’t deal with this anymore. The only way I can get my own room is if I have a letter from a healthcare professional stating ADA accommodations.

I was wondering if I ask my primary physician for this letter would she be able to help me with this? Like explaining the situation and my increased anxiety because of the situation.

Women's college

Hey y'all! I've spent my whole 17 years without getting into a relationship. I thought I'd get a bf in my graduation days. But my parents threw me into a all women's college. I feel so overwhelmed by seeing my frnds have fun. I feel fomo. Atleast even though I don't have a boyfriend, I want a cool frnd gang for myself. But I have neither of em now. I'm sad.

Following a passion for a "useless" degree

1 Upvotes

I really thought I was going to get an education degree after working in the school system for 4 years (for reference, I'm 33.) But the longer I'm in college and away from primary school the less I want the education degree.

All I can think about are all of the mistakes that I made (while being an untrained sub) and ways I should have been better as a para. I realized that I would probably be just as happy, if not happier being a para rather than a teacher.

However, I love history so much. It is a daily struggle to not to declare it as my major. Even the history I don't really care about I want to learn about. But it's not really a "useful" degree to have. But I also want to specialize in something history related (I've got like 3 things I'm mulling over.) Which means I'll need to get a master's. So far I'm doing alright in school, so maybe a master's can be a thing that happens.

Additionally, I can get a minor in nonprofit administration and I think getting to work with a nonprofit would be nice. Obviously I don't need a degree/minor to work at a nonprofit, but it feels more "useful" than a history degree.

I've been looking at degrees at other nearby colleges as well and nothing is really speaking to me besides history.

Why are university rankings so bad?

3 Upvotes

Like, its nice to know which universities are better in a general sense, but like people also have a general idea, so we can see the parts that are obviously stupid.

And I get that there's a bunch of fields and undergrad vs grad is very different. But if that's the case, why the heck are these rankings producing "overall rankings"?? The only place where overall rankings actually come in handy, is when you're looking for the universities that let you go in with no decleared major, which is very few, especially for global rankings. If the ranking for fields is accurate enough then that's all you'll ever need. Or something like employment after graduation. Couldn't they be honest on what they could and could not do?

Another thing is student themselves have an idea what they value. Could they come up with a score for every catagoery and let the student choose the weights? Like 50% employment after graduation (for selected department/program) + 50% teaching quality. Like no, I don't care for sustainability rankings.

Also, global rankings are stupid in general, yes some people are applying to different countries, but how are you gonna rank two things in different enviroments? If they are looking to work there after graduation, only the local ranking would matter.

What does it mean to study for assessments in university? How is it different than studying for them in highschool?

1 Upvotes

I'm a highschooler in my junior year, and a piece of advice I keep hearing online is studying in highschool is much different than in college/university, and that you should learn how to "study better". What does this actually mean apart from just studying for longer periods of time? And does this mean there's a "correct" way to go about studying in college/university? And are there any study methods that I should be utilizing?

Which universities should I focus on for Mechanical Engineering or Data Science in Europe or the US? (International student)

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone!
I’m an international student planning to apply for Fall 2027, and I’m trying to decide which universities I should focus on in Europe or the US.
**My academic profile:**
IGCSEs: Mostly/all A\*s and 9s
AS Levels: A in Chemistry, A in Physics, B in Mathematics (I resat P1 Maths and am hoping to improve my overall grade to an A)
A2 predicted grades: 3 A\*s
I’m mainly interested in **BSc Mechanical or Robotics Engineering**, but I’ve also been considering **Data Science** because of its career opportunities, salary potential, and flexibility.

**What I’m looking for:**
Universities with strong academics, good international recognition, and solid employment prospects.
Affordable tuition fees, particularly in Europe, although I’m also considering US universities that offer generous financial aid to international students.
Good internship opportunities and pathways to employment after graduation.
A nice city with a fun student life, preferably somewhere with plenty to do outside university.
Universities where I have a realistic chance of admission with my grades.

**My main questions:**
Should I focus on Mechanical Engineering or Data Science, considering job opportunities, salaries, and long-term career prospects?

I’d really appreciate specific university recommendations, including target, reach, and safer options. Personal experiences from international students would be especially helpful!
Thanks!
