Having minor definitely has helped my D. in UG, improve her well being which has helped her to get all A’s. As a bonus (and free!) she has developed awesome voice singing with music majors as part of her music minor. In addition, it provided great relaxation, awesome experiences recording her own music on real recording equipment (she will never had a chance like this) and having her piece played by Music major student at recital. Again, as another bonus, D. has mentioned that her approach to solving problems in science classes seems to be different, she seemed to have easier time because of her more developed creative way of thinking (I cannot elaborate on this and do not fully understand it). All along she has never considered her GPA getting lowered because of her minor, although it did a bit, getting A- in 3 music classes, she said she did not care about it. I am not trying to convince anybody one way or another, it just not worth it calculating too much instead of looking for the ways to enjoy 4 years of UG.
