  1. Ignore everyone's advice. YOU are going to have to take 6-10 classes on this subject and YOU are going to have to write a 30-50 page paper on the topic. Make sure its something you're interested in.
  2. Don't think about grad school. You can go to law school with a degree in biology or med school with a degree in sociology. Have fun in college, do well in your classes and that grad school will be clammering for that kid with the interesting major.
  3. Take Your Time. Don't commit on Day 1. Test the waters. Maybe you thought you'd love Psychology but after taking a class you realize its not your cup of tea. Snoop around and see what really gets your blood pumping.
  4. Go broad. Some majors are more inclusive such as American Studies or Liberal Arts. You take a class in multiple disciplines so you don't have to choose.
  5. Your major doesn't dictate your future job. You can do just about any job with just about any major.

  1. Your school doesn't offer the major you want.
  2. You've improved your GPA and you would like to go to a more challenging school.
  3. Personal problems that require you to move closer to home.
  4. Another school has offered you a good scholarship and you need that extra financial aid.

  1. You're not having a good time. What have you tried to do to fit in? What about the school isn't a good fit for you. Just remember going to a new schools means you're going to have to start all over again.
  2. You are homesick for friends, boy/girlfriends or family. Making the move will only compromise your education.
  3. The work is too hard. You probably aren't taking the right classes. Re-evaluate your course load and major. Research professors ahead of time, make sure you're not getting a dud.
