<p>@Sudsie, He would probably enjoy creating games, but wants to major in something practical that allows him to be creative. But I’m sure he’d take game design courses if they were available, so I’ll encourage him to check Drexel out.</p>
<p>@BrownParent, I guess we’re unusual then. Taking gap years is the norm in my family and in my spouse’s family as well. When we do get around to going to college we generally explore a fairly wide range of courses. It’s because my son is expressing interest in doing both of those things (taking a gap year and having more options available) that we’re looking at other programs. When my son applied to colleges he was leaning heavily toward computer science and engineering, but over the last few months he’s decided he wants a major that allows for more creativity and he’s concerned Hartwick doesn’t have as broad a range of courses as he wants. He doesn’t want to jump in until he has a clear direction, or take a freshman grant at a school he very well may want to transfer out of in a year. So here we are.</p>
