How do you choose a college major?

Hi everyone, I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed trying to decide on a major for college. How did you guys choose your majors? Do you have any advice for someone who's struggling to figure out what they want to study?

Hey there! I understand how overwhelming it can be trying to choose a major. My child had a similar struggle when they were figuring out what to study in college. One thing that really helped them was to consider their interests and strengths. Think about which subjects you enjoy and excel in, and research majors that align with those areas.

It's also important to remember that many students change their majors during their college years. The first couple of years usually involve taking general education courses, which can help you explore different subjects and eventually lead you to a major you feel passionate about.

Lastly, don't hesitate to seek guidance from others. Talk to your high school counselor, college advisors, and even current college students who can share their experiences with you. Attend college fairs and open houses to gather more information. Keep in mind that you have time to figure things out and that it's okay to change your major or even double major if you find multiple areas of interest. Good luck!
