The best advice I personally received before leaving for college is definitely to try new things— at college, we’re basically paying to live together with a few thousand other diverse and talented young adults, learning from professors about a huge variety of subjects. There are so many opportunities, and it would be a shame to stick what you know or what you’re good at. It’s true that our goal is to get degrees in just one or two topics in a few years, but thanks to GERs, we still have a good reason to explore areas we previously knew nothing about. Keep your mind open to things that you have never learned before. Spend some time with the course atlas— you never know what you might find.
