Major: Psychology (This Major's Salary over time)
Bing-o is what you make of it and i mean that…You can work the system, do nothing and get decent grades and spend all your freetime at the rat or you can take advantage of the many resources, both academically and socially and make your four years worthwhile.

IF you major in psychology you will only have 2 classes smaller then 40 people. While this makes it hard to get to know your profs, do well and make an effort. One of the advatages of going to a larger university like this is that there are many positions to help out with research. TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THIS.

Also…while the town is dead and if you frequent the bars you will see the same people again and again…there are tons of clubs and organizations on campus to get involved with.

SUm it up…

If i was to do it again I would have asked around and taken the easier(this is subjective as some courses i did well in were not easier for some and vice versa…learn quickly which material and teaching practices you work best with) courses…got good grades…and used that leftover brain energy to enrich my education more with out-of-class experiances such as RA positions, internships and volenteer work…

because Psych 000 with prof EASY looks the same on your transcript as PSYCH 000 with Prof HARD…and you know tomarrow you are gonna forget 98% of the info you crammed into your brain 6 hours before a test…and those outofclass experiances make for nice things to put on your resumes and happy reference letters. oh…and i alsoo would have gotten involved in clubs right off the bat…cause that means more people you get to know…leading to more drinkin buddies and more dates. and aim gets old afterawhile.
