How do I make good friends with other engineering majors
My name is Theo, and I'm going into my freshman year at Cal Poly soon. I'm going into college with almost all of my general education done. So I'll be going into my major courses straight away in college. I know that engineers are less social than your average person, myself included. I was just wondering how I can make friends with them, because I'm a little nervous as to how to do so. Do I just walk up to whoever sits next to me in class? What if they turn out not to be a good person? I'd also like to make friends with other majors, but I'm going to be around engineering majors most of the time, so I'm not sure.

Would having a dual major degree in Computer Science and Cybersecurity & Operations have a negative impact while applying for work?
I'm wondering if hiring managers in tech might be biased against candidates with a specialized CS degree. Initially, I planned to pursue a degree in cybersecurity, but I was advised to opt for a more generalized degree. Given the course requirements, it was feasible to add a dual major, so I chose that route. Now I'm questioning whether I should reconsider my choice before it's too late. Although I'm still aiming to specialize in cybersecurity after graduation, I’m also hearing advice to remain open to unexpected opportunities in the tech field. I want to ensure I have flexibility in the future, so this decision has been weighing heavily on me.
