1. Not really sure what I want to major in, should I start at community college first and save a lot of money then transfer?
I have nothing against community college but I have always told myself I didn't want to go to one. I have always had my mind set on going to a 4 year college. However, people all around me are talking about how they are going to start at a community then transfer because it will save them a good amount of money which kind of makes you double think about it.
2. Are extra curricular activities important in college?
All throughout high school we try to get in a bunch of extra curricular activities and sports because it looks good on college applications and we want to get noticed and accepted by them. On the other hand, once you are in college you don't really have to try to impress colleges anymore. Also, maybe that will get in the way of your school work. At the same time, they could be super fun and why not get involved.
I believe that a community college is great if you have not found your carreer yet. And also, if you did not perform well academically in high school, a community college would reset grades (from what I've heard), and you can get new grades and show them to universities.
ReplyDeleteExtracurricular activities are important in college if your carreer involves an extracurricular activity. For example, maybe a passionate sports player will look for the college that has a great program for their particular sport.
