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
How to be ready for the future, how to be sure on what you want to do?

Switching Major from SWE to cyber Security ?
I completed an associates in computer programming, but taking intro to software engineering in my first semester of university I realized I actually hate coding and dread doing it. I thought of switching to cyber security instead cause its less coding. I honestly hate coding at this point or at least that's how university makes me feel. Everywhere says don't switch stick with SWE (software engineering), but I literally have started dreading going to class. It doesn't help that everywhere on the internet says everyone can code now and unless you're real passionate you won't ever make it. I'm scared to switch to cyber security cause everyone says it too is a over saturated market ,but at least maybe I won't dread it like I do SWE? When I was in community college I was so happy to learn coding, but now I never want to look at it again, but I need to finish a bachelor's degree in something. Any advice is appreciated ,Seriously please help! I feel really lost ....

Should I continue doing extracurriculars/sports I don't love anymore since they will make my college application look better?
I'm a junior, and I'm not as interested in some of my extracurriculars as I used to be. I feel like I'm only doing them because I don't want to quit when I'll be applying to college next year, but they're also making it harder to find time for the things I enjoy. My parents cautioned me against quitting, because it would make my college application appear less impressive, but l'm not sure if I want to spend my time doing things I don't enjoy anymore just so I can appear impressive to colleges. What should I do?
