Will i have free time while studying for my engineering major?
Hey there! I'm Sarah and I'm going into my freshman/sophomore year at UAH this upcoming year. I have all my general classes done and I will probably be heading straight into the more difficult ones this fall. Because of that, I was wondering if I'll have time for any of my other hobbies while studying. I draw a lot as well as workout and play soccer.

How can I choose the right job or college to catered towards what I want to do for my career to be an Author?
I am 19, I graduated high-school last year. I was class of 2025 in June. My original plan was to attend college like everyone and my parents wanted. I did online but things got hectic for me so I left. I've never had a job. I know that writing is my passion. I would love to become an Author one day. But I still unfortunately struggle to get a job because well what I've been taught is that I need a degree or start from just any random job just so I could be successful. But it stresses me because something I learned about myself is I am not interested in school as much. I know I want to learn but I want to decide my success for itself because I always let what everyone says affect what I do. I just want advice on how I can find a decent job or school that I like without compromising what I want to do. I know my success is not the same as anyone else's but the point is that I want to do something I love for the rest of my life, not something I hate.

How should students evaluate the ROI of transferring colleges before making the decision?
Hi! I’m currently a sophomore college student considering transferring, and I’ve been thinking a lot about how people talk about college as an “investment.” What I’m struggling with is that, unlike traditional investments, students don’t really get clear ROI projections before making huge financial and life decisions like transferring schools. For professionals who have been through hiring or recruiting (or both), how do you personally think about the value of where someone went to school, and what advice would you give someone trying to decide if transferring is “worth it”? Thank you so much for your time! #Spring26
