As a university/college student, the most important decision to make is choosing the major that defines your studies and sets up your future. I’ve always wondered what that thought process looked like for others, so I decided to head onto campus and simply ask.

Why do students choose their majors? Do they regret their decisions years down the line? What would they have done differently?

Hope you guys enjoy the content and soak up the summer vibes :)

    Informative video in terms of how we all think same and are on same boat. My major was electrical engineering but if i have to go back i would go with CS , obviously for money but i kinda like it if not love it and it integrates with everything , maybe i would minor in electrical but CS it is.

    May I know what easy minors to take? Possible to change from Chem specialists to Chem Majors plus two minors if you in Year 3 Fall.
