Major change? How hard really?

Update: Well, about 3/4 of the way thru the year, our son officially changed his major to Biology! I know he enjoyed working hands on with the animals, but something clicked and he decided it would be better to major in Bio. So happy! And it was an easy change since he had already taken some bio classes and was in good standing. He will be taking an extremely hard load next qtr (fall): another hard bio class, chemistry, physics and another calculus class (ugh). And while we were driving the other day, he told me he probably won’t go to vet school - almost hit a car on that one! Wow - he’s wanted to be a vet since 6th grade. He said he doesn’t want to give dogs shots every day. I know that working at the vet really helped him make his decision. We actually paid him to volunteer at the local vet when he was a jr in h.s. - wanted him to do it, to make sure that’s what he wanted to do. The office hired him after 3 months and he now has a job anytime he needs one! He’s not sure what he wants to do now - but that’s okay - that’s what college is for.

CinniesMon, did your daughter get in??? If so, I’m sure she will love the animal science program. Our son really did enjoy it. And she will love the campus and town.
