@blossom, thank you for your input, I value your opinion. She is stuck on this double major/one minor avenue and I think she needs to detour a bit. She is amazing at math. She originally wanted to learn Arabic. Her future goal is to work with FBI (I know that may change of course). Time to pull it back and look at the big picture again I think. I think science only came about because 1) the early courses came very easy to her and 2) it seemed like the logical double with math for some reason lol. I’d like her to take CS this upcoming semester (its required for math) instead of her junior year, and more importantly, instead of a biochem class, and see if it is at all appealing to her. What’s your take on a Math/CS double or major/minor?

And, yes, she is the friend who always “can’t go to the movies or to the jazz jam, etc” and it’s not healthy. She manages to squeeze in a weekend a month to see her boyfriend but even then there’s a lot of studying together (he’s a double engineering major at UMA).

As for study abroad, this is her dream. She loves to travel and its not something we can easily afford but at school, her finaid covers it so its a great opportunity for her. I also think at least the semester in Spain will be less academically challenging for her, a break of sorts. Australia maybe not so much.

Thank you again everyone.
