Is it common for students to switch majors? Will it affect how long it takes you to graduate?
I am a high school senior and I have no idea what I want to major in or purse. I was just wondering how common it is for a student to switch majors and how much of a set back it is on your education. #college #college-major #education #graduation #switches

What is it like to be in a professional sorority?
I am thinking about joining the professional business sorority at my college next year. I don't really know much about it. Has any one had experience with professional sororities. I have heard a lot about social sororities. What is the difference between these two? #college #professional #sorority

What is it like being in a sorority and should I consider joining one in college?
I've heard about hazing which scares me a bit, but I've also heard a lot of good things. (I'd also love to hear about experiences had in fraternities and how that may have affected male professionals on the site as well.) Does joining one help build up a network and is that helpful in future...

Pros and cons of working at the college you're attending?
The university I'm planning to attend has many job opportunities for students to work on campus. I was thinking about doing it as it would help financially and also just to get work experience. Should I? If I do decide to, should I wait until my sophomore or junior years? Or could I handle it...

What would be a career path for someone who is considering a career in animal therapy or training?
I enjoy working with animals, and have been considering different options that allow this interaction. I do not want to be a veterinarian, but I do have interests in animal therapy or training, and I was wondering if there is any advice you could give or a path to look into during my college...

If you don't know the language well, is studying abroad still a good idea?
I'm taking a beginners course in German, but do not really plan on studying it in college. I am interested in possibly studying abroad there as the culture interests me, so I was wondering if no knowing the language well/only knowing the very basics would be a reason to look into studying...

Would you recommend taking classes over the summer for college?
I know many people that spend their college summers taking classes. Would you suggest this? I know that it can help you get ahead to graduate early or to stay on track. #college #classes #courses #summer #class #course

Does it help to start off in a career that pays well, rather than searching for your dream job?
I know college results in debt, so I was wondering: in the long run would it be worth it to find a job in a subject you like(but aren't overly fond of) and use that to become more financially stable, then find a career you are very passionate about? #finance #debt #multiple-interests

What is life like as an FBI/CIA agent?
I am very interested in going into criminal justice but everyone tells me it is very dangerous and scary. I was wondering if I could get some information on what life is like or what a general day looks like as an agent. #criminal-justice #life

Is it possible to study abroad during the summer?
I'm not sure if I want to study abroad during the school year. Are there colleges that offer study abroad programs in the summer or during school breaks like winter break? #travel #study-abroad #summer

Would going to a larger college help me get a job after college or would it make it harder?
I feel like if I go to a larger college it will be better known and I will have a better chance at getting a job. But I could be wrong. #college #jobs #future #success

How do you maintain a balance between doing what you love and making sure you are making a good amount of money?
I am a high school senior and even though I do not know what career I wish to pursue, I want to make sure that I am doing something I love, while still being able to comfortably support myself. I guess I would just love to hear different perspectives on your career and how you keep the balance...
