Debating between courses

April 11, 2008, 3:34 PM

How many people are going to college / university this year and having trouble debating what courses to take? I know for a fact that I can do any course I want, I just don't know which course to take as a number 4...

I know I'm taking History, English Literature and Psychology, but I'm debating between Theatre Studies and Law. See, I love Drama, but no one else I know is definately taking it, and I don't want to go into a class not knowing anyone, it would just be weird, but I also think Law would be fascinating, and I know lots of people are taking law...

Or I might just leave it as 3 courses, so then I'd have slightly more free time. I think I'll just wait and see.

When I chose my classes when I first entered university, I just chose the ones that corresponded with the requirements for my major.

Ditto.

There were a few required electives that didn't relate with my major, but...you know...they were required. Didn't have a problem deciding on those. haha

Joint Honours is always good. I do a Chemistry degree, and I wish was doing half Chemistry then half Maths or something. From doing 3 or 4 subjects at A-Level down to just one is a little harsh. Doing one thing can be a tad dull.

My advice is to talk to as many people as possible, and never believe what one single person says. Over the next 2 or 3 years, a lot of people will tell you a lot of things when it comes to education. It may sound obvious, but sometimes you look back and think "wow, some people didn't half talk crap about Uni".
