Here are some myths I notice sometimes:

  1. Most students live in dorms.
  2. Most students graduate in four years.
  3. During your first two years, you don't take classes in your major.
  4. "Pre-med" is a major.
  5. All STEM majors are lucrative.
  6. Fastweb is an efficient way to find scholarships.
