<p>no, not true to most of your questions. it’s not hard to switch majors, i think you just fill something out. </p>
<p>yes, it is very possible to finish in 3 years… take summer school, come in with a lot of credits/units, etc. </p>
<p>and no, priority does NOT go to those in the major. a history major could easily sign up for a psychology class that they don’t even need. i believe registration times are based on units…the more you have, the better. your first year, you come in with less units than the 2nd, 3rd, 4th year students, so they’ve already filled up all the classes you might want. so, just stick with the classes you NEED the first year such as your college’s writing class, beginning sequences, etc. as a 1st year, i rarely got classes i wanted, like those cool film classes and music classes…my 4th year, easy breezy!</p>
