For the College Students

[pianogirl04]

Are you an undergraduate or graduate student?
*Undergrad

What degree are you going for?
*Right now something in special education but I'm changing that to music therapy asap

What do you plan to do with it?
*I'd like to have a secondary career as a music therapist working with special needs children

What's your classification?
*Freshman

How many times have you changed your major?
*None yet. I'm switching out of an education class next semester so I can take a general ed music class and then hopefully by the end of next semester I'll officially be a music therapy major.

Do you or have you lived on campus?
*Negative

Do you prefer that to commuting?
*I've been in the residence halls on campus and I couldn't handle being around so many people in a small space and the noise. I need space to study. At the same time, you don't get as involved on campus as you could be if you lived there as a commuter and you don't get the independence experience. I like commuting only because I like to drive, but I know I'm missing out.

How's your university's cafeteria?
*Eh. Good salads. I haven't let myself try the ice cream yet. I only eat there when I have a late class or I've skipped a meal.

Do you generally have professors who try to get to know their students, or
are the classes usually too big for that?
*The classes are usually around 30 people and everybody pretty much knows each other, professors and students.

Do you prefer college to high school and grade school in general?
*YES. High school was hell. I don't know how I survived, but after going through that, I swear I can do anything. I was really expecting college to be worse and it involves a lot more discipline and focus than high school did, but not nearly as much busywork. I'm happy.
