If you do switch, I suggest doing so as soon as possible. I graduated with only ONE free elective, because I switched late. It was “The Economics of Sports” and was easily my most cherished course. Only one free elective is despite being on a quarter system with 50% more courses than a semester system. This is despite a 5th year to squeeze in my new major. This is despite not even leaving the engineering department. I merely switched majors within engineering. Loved college, but I felt kind of robbed on the breadth of courses, due to the very strict, rigorous course schedule.
