<p>So I'm a little overambitious, with many wants. ^-^;</p>
<p>I'm a junior in high school, atm. For some reason, I just love thinking about my college and future.. perhaps almost daily. (Always drive my parents crazy every time I bring the college subject up. :3 ) Anyways, I'm one of those people that just adore both math/science and any art related stuff. People keep telling me those two are comppleeetteeellyyy different.</p>
<p>So lately, I've been thinking about doing double major, in both architecture and civil/mechanical engineering. Plus, a minor in either dance or graphic design. I know that'll probably kill me almost everyday, with the very tight schedule and all. And maybe that'll also give me extra college years. .__.</p>
<p>Now, I don't really want to be a 'no-lifer'. I spend a lot of my time with family and friends. Is it possible to do what I'm thinking about doing AND still "have a life"? My dad also mentioned internship... How does internship work? I'm guessing it'd already be hard doing internship with a tight schedule. :/</p>
<p>Architecture is a very work intensive major that probably would preclude a double major and a minor. You can only take so many classes per term and when you look at double majors and/or adding minors you generally need to find at least some level of overlap in requirements so that some classes will count for both majors. </p>
<p>As far as satisfying both your math/science and arts sides you can achieve that through extracurricular activities. My daughter is a physics major who is also a member of her school’s ballet company (an EC) and she has danced with other EC groups. Dance at her school is strictly extracurricular, but they have very good classes and the ballet company is strong enough that a number of dancers have been hired into top professional companies the past few years. Combining her academics, dance, and doing research (the closest thing to an internship for a physics major) keeps her very busy. The only possibility for her to double major would be if she added math or maybe computer science due to the overlap in requirements, but quite frankly, she would have to be superwoman to take that on with what she is already doing.</p>
