Every college student will be challenged with making decisions at some point during their college career. The decisions made by college students impact their relationships, family, career trajectories, jobs, education, sex, health, money, living situation, diet, friends, beliefs, and drinking.
However, compared to upperclassmen, college freshmen are likely to experience a hard time making these types of decisions because their lack of knowledge about new environments like college.
Some common questions asked by college freshmen are:
“Should I go out for drinks tonight or should I stay in to study for my exam on Monday?”
“Should I take this course because it seems easy or should I take a different course that challenges me?”
“Should I choose my major based on salary or should I choose a major that interests me?”
