<p>I had the impression that you can take courses in one if you are in the other or switch schools if you want to change your major, but apparently its not that easy. </p>

<p>I'm a government major (probably) but I also want to do some international relations and don't want to cut myself off completely from the options of theatre/english/women's & gender studies so I'm now just really confused.</p>

<p>Also not sure that I would even have a chance at SFS as I only have a GCSE in French
(I'm an international student from the UK). So I've only done it to the age of 16. I do have a really strong interest in international relations, especially chinese/korean and I want to learn Chinese at college, but would my lack of languages put me out of the running</p>

<p>my SATs were:
CR: 760
W: 730
M: 650</p>

<p>US hist: 690
Maths I: 680
Literature: 740</p>

<p>I'm predicted 4 A* and an A at A level (18+ exams) in English, History, Politics, Philosophy and Drama</p>

<p>Anyone have any advice?</p>

<p>Changing schools isn’t easy, but it isn’t impossible. My roommate, who’s in the college, is planning to switch to the SFS, and I know someone in the SFS that’s considering a move to the college. It’s not all that uncommon.</p>

<p>Clearly, if you really don’t know what you want to do yet, apply for the college (1st year requirements aren’t as structured) and dabble a little bit. Also remember that if you’re in the college, you can get minors in SFS, but if you’re in SFS you can only get “certificates” in other schools, and there are fewer available certificates than there are minors and while they are basically the same thing, a minor sounds slightly more impressive than a certificate.</p>
