Amber Flynn, junior biology major
“So many different routes. Let’s see, class registration, because a lot of the times you don’t get the professors you want. Of course the course load; currently taking anatomy and organic chemistry so it’s hard to balance the two. I would say those are probably two of the biggest challenges academically. Also, it’s hard to incorporate extracurricular activities, such as shadow hours, to have what’s needed to apply to post-undergrad programs.”
Diego Duque, junior criminal justice major
“The most difficult thing about my major is learning all the court procedures, because you have to know all the rights for a person to have a good defense. It’s a lot of memorization.”
Taylor Green-Shine, freshman marine biology major
“The most difficult thing is finding what field I specifically want to be in, whether I want to do fisheries or working with coral: things like that.”
Mary Acosta, freshman exercise sports science major
“Having to schedule around practice and understanding what classes to take first, because in order to take the next few classes, you have to take general classes and then that opens up the door to take other classes later on.”
Kelsea Ragsdale, sophomore nursing major
“I would say the most difficult thing about my major is keeping up with my GPA, because you need a certain GPA to get into nursing school. It’s very time consuming, and you have to bring your ‘A game’ at all times.”
Alexandra Zadak, junior theatre major
“As a theatre major, I think the most difficult thing is the amount of time it takes to put yourself in your work. We’re here for very long hours and it’s so much fun, but sometimes actors say it’s 95 percent work and 5 percent fun. But really the entire process is so amazing to see, so it’s really worth it, even though you do put a lot of your life and time into it.”
Michael Rosario, senior exercise science major
“Probably the most difficult thing is going through the mandatory classes at the beginning like anatomy, physiology and biomechanics. But once you get through those, then you get to the more enjoyable classes that are deeper into the major and closer to the exercise science major in general.”
Veronica Rodriguez, junior communications major
“The most difficult thing about my major is exploring the different tracks it has, because my major is communications, and which one best fits me. Trying to find out which job I want to do for the rest of my life.”
