The best way for me to narrow down my options was to get experience in different areas and realize what I did and didn't enjoy. <br /><br />Similarly to what Amy has said, I was lucky enough to be able to transfer all of my credits to my new program. Others may not be so lucky, or might not be able to afford to take an extra year in figuring out where they want to go. These courses would be a great way to spark interest, and to provide people with opinions on various topics without spending all of their college savings.

There are SO many courses I'd love to take in university, for no particular reason other than "I want to learn more about the topic". But unfortunately, if you're not made of money, then taking a ton of random classes just beacuse isn't very feasible. Free online courses could easily fix that problem :)Amynoreply@blogger.com
