How did you feel about starting college in the spring semester?
I got into and decided on my first choice school, but I got into a program where you start in January and then catch-up to everyone during a summer semester abroad. I'm really excited about all of that, but now that the summer is almost over and most of my friends are gearing up to go away and start school, I'm kind of bummed to be missing out on that part of the experience. How did you deal with that kind of situation? #school #college #springstart #springsemesterstart #freshman

Do you have any advice pertaining to how to make the most of a freshman summer program?
I'm doing a summer program that allows me to get 13 credit hours before the rest of the freshman. I think it will be a fantastic way for me to get to know campus before 'real' school begins. This means a smaller, more individualized class size, but it also means a shorter term. Should I take subjects I struggle with (aka Math) during the summer due to the small class size, or avoid it due to the shortened term? Thanks! #summer-programs #freshman

If I pursue a business degree, but also want a communications degree to immerse me into a desired career environment, which communications degree should I pursue?
I am a college freshman. I don't have a definitive answer for what I want to do for the rest of my life. A business degree has a lot of versatility and flexibility. I also want to major (or minor) in communications to compliment my business degree. By obtaining both degrees, I hope to be more marketable and well equipped with the skills necessary to succeed in the field of business. However, if I have an interest in working in an environment having to do with entertainment/ tourism, should I then get a communications degree specialized in those areas. I also have an interest in potentially working with businesses as opposed to solely entertainment as well, though. Should I simply go for the general communications degree to avoid pigeonholing myself? Should I instead go for public relations or an advertising degree? I am planning on transferring to Cal State Fullerton. #college #business #college-major #university #communications #degree #entertainment #freshman #tourism
