@NYGrad Well, there is a difference between have an idea (or a few choices) and not knowing altogether. Having a few ideas will give you a direction to go freshman year instead of taking a bunch of random classes hoping you find something you like. That kind of blind exploring is best done at a community college (or affordable state schools) where classes are very affordable and you aren’t out thousands of dollars for each class (look at the cost per credit of your school: at $47k a year your classes are probably $4,000 a piece). Would you rather “figure things out” for $300 per class or $4,000? Once you have an idea, you can jump into your university and take classes required for the new-found major.
Again, I know this is the less-popular way to go about getting an education, but I’m hoping you realize the “popular” way could leave you $60k in debt and not really knowing what you want or not able to get a job (lots of liberal arts degrees won’t pay back your student loans very easily).
