Difficulty of changing major or college?

Well, from what I heard, you’re not allowed to declare your major as engineering right away. So right now your actual major should be something like General Chem or something like that. I heard it takes around two years before you’re actually allowed to declare the engineering part. If you still want to change your major though, you can probably change it and then declare it to engineering later. I also heard that Warren’s pretty decent for engineers(and since they have a writing program that’s only 2 quarters long, that’ll help you to take your major courses sooner).

I haven’t heard about that integrated program before, but I think that if you are doing that program, you probably shouldn’t change your major too much. People say that it’s fine to switch majors around, but if you’re doing engineering, you need about as much time as you can get so you can graduate on time.

PS. Take all this with a grain of salt. It’s best to talk to a counselor. If you go onto webreg, there should be a tool that says “Virtual Advising Center”. You can post a question there and ask a counselor.
