[quote=Anonymous]I am a professor, and my recommendation for students is NOT to choose their major right away. Instead, students should use the first two years of college as a time to explore different interests and to take classes with professors, regardless of their subject matter, who have a good reputation for teaching. College may be the only time in a person's life when she can take a course in ancient philosophy or modern Islam, medieval art history, astronomy, or the politics of South Asia. Parents should NOT be taking an active role in choosing a student's course of study. Students can talk to advisors, talk to professors, and ask other students about interesting classes. As a parent, you may be tempted into thinking that because you are paying for tuition, that you therefore have a right to determine what your child does with college. I don't think that that is the most productive attitude to take. Your child is now responsible for her own intellectual life. [/quote]
