Hi Gianna,

If you are not set on a major yet I would suggest saving money and doing two years at a local community college. In order to get a bachelor's degree there are two parts to it. Your general education credits and your major/minor. It takes about two years to complete your general education credits- this is your math, science, english, etc. General education credits often overlap with majors letting you explore a little of the majors you are interested in. I would use your first two years to complete your general education credits and explore the careers you are interested in by volunteering, getting a part-time job, or internship to learn more about a career you like.

If you really want to go away to a university I would just do the same thing and focus on your general education credits. The plus of going to a community college and completing your general education credits is that you can leave with a general associate's degree and save money.

I hope this helps!
Thank you comment icon I appreciate you taking the time to answer this. Gianna

Hi Gianna! I had a similar situation once I entered college. Many colleges offer an "Undergraduate Studies" major, which essentially means undecided but you are able to take all the lower-level core classes that everyone has to take. This ensures that you won't fall behind once you decide on a major, because you'll already have all your basics out of the way. Typically, you'd need to declare a major by your Junior year since the last two years you'll primarily take your "major specific" classes. This allows you to explore different majors in your first two years, so you can make a better informed decision about your major when the time comes. Given this, I would say pick the school/area that looks the most fun to you! The atmosphere that you are in adds so much to the college experience. You'll need to go out and have fun every now and then!
