<p>I want to take a few classes that have nothing to do with engineering period. Is it a bad idea to take one engineering course and the rest be exploring other majors and things I like?</p>
<p>Nothing that helps expand your mind is necessarily a bad idea. If it were to cause you to stay in school longer, then it may be questionable, but if you are interested in other things, pursuing those is absolutely not a bad idea.</p>
<p>Thanks, I just needed some other opinion my advisor. I’m still a bit undecided on major.</p>
<p>Depends. Some things you can read about yourself and join some online discussion forum to talk about it with other people. Other stuff doesn’t really work that way. Have you thought about simply doing these other things in your free time?</p>
<p>it’s never a bad thing. Life is about enjoying things, and if you enjoy those courses, take them. I take pointless electives too, they help me be happy instead of have to study all the time.</p>
<p>hadsed said it perfectly… Many classes that you ‘could’ take to explore your interests could just as easily be fulfilled on your own time without wasting thousands of dollars to learn about them formally in the classroom when they are not counting towards your degree.</p>
<p>Mainly I need to improve my GPA and just find myself because I don’t want that what if feeling at the end of my college career. I thought college was about getting knowledge not just a degree mill.</p>
