Undergraduate Struggles

There are thousands of kids in the United States who are going into college undecided regarding a major.  The college life allows for so many avenues that kids do not always have a defined path for themselves.  This is understandable, and it is why the college life can sometimes be very interesting.

A statistic shows that around 70% of college students change their major at least once.  I found this fascinating.  After visiting many schools myself and listening in on college presentations, I found that colleges actually encourage exploring different majors and finding what is best for a student.  BU, for example, has 9 different undergraduate schools, some of which including business, communications, and hospitality.  BU actually pushes their students to take as many classes as possible in different schools to get a feel for what is really out there.  I really liked the way they gave so many opportunities, and I agree with the method of trying different things out.  What if I'm set on a business major, but I turn out to have some amazing skill for computer science?  The idea of trying new things comforted me, and made me realize nothing you do in college, even beyond, has to be set in stone.
