<p>My identical twin and myself start college this summer. I want to take English Composition and American Government. She wants to add a perspective also.</p>
<p>How difficult would that be?</p>
<p>Why do you care if the two of you are together? Are the two of you even going to same colleges…?</p>
<p>Yes, we were both accepted to VSU last June. Our housing applications and deposit was turned in on November 3rd.</p>
<p>We are both going to be majoring in nursing…</p>
<p>We are dorming together, and hope to get the majority of our classes together.</p>
<p>Why do you want to take all the same classes? Shouldn’t you be exploring your own interests on your own? I mean, you’re not going to be able to get the same job and work at the same desk. College should be about developing and challenging yourself as a person. I know of (identical and non-idential twins) that went to the same school but led independent academic lives.</p>
<p>Going to the same college and living together in the same dorm is already quite unusual (even for identical twins) so then taking all the same classes seems a bit much. Not trying to pass judgement, just curious what the motivations are or what you’re trying to achieve.</p>
<p>No, its not unusual for us. We’ve always been extremely close, had the same friends, shared many classes.</p>
<p>Yes, we will be at the same hospital…we are getting $6000 each from the local hospital and must work for them for 3 years after college…</p>
<p>do you guys really want to live the same life? essentially the same person?</p>
<p>you two might not think it’s weird, but most everyone else is going to…</p>
<p>Like a care…I’m there for an education first and foremost. We are each others biggest support.</p>
<p>Why do you want to take all the same classes? Your original question implies that your twin wants to do something but you’re not sure about it… surely you’re twin should do what she wants and you should go out and do what you want… not just wanting to do what you’re twin wants and then asking if it’s OK.</p>
<p>There’s nothing wrong with having the occasional class together by accident, but intentionally aiming to essentially have the same degree with exactly the same classes is odd and, to be honest, not something your professors would look too highly upon. </p>
<p>There’s nothing wrong with being very close to your twin (that’s a very good thing) but you still need to be able to demonstrate to the rest of the world that you are still an individual person with individual interests, skills and unique qualities. Otherwise, you will run into trouble (in college and thereafter).</p>
