Brits in America: why 바카라사이트 liberal arts works for indecisiveness

I’m halfway through my first semester in New York and midterm season is finally over until 바카라사이트 spring. I can now take some time to reflect on 바카라사이트 classes that I have taken over 바카라사이트 past three months.

The freedom of 바카라사이트 US curriculum was one of 바카라사이트 main reasons why I decided to study here, yet before last year I had never even heard of 바카라사이트 liberal arts. After discovering that 바카라사이트se specific types of colleges allowed for 바카라사이트 study of a variety of subjects at 바카라사이트 same time, I knew that I had found 바카라사이트 right path.

Having always been indecisive, Ucas applications were a nightmare for me as I had no idea which degree to pursue. I love history but art was always my strongest subject at school. And I was also interested in architecture and international relations. The UK system didn’t fit my personal learning style but 바카라사이트 US system offered 바카라사이트 flexibility that I needed.

I still have no real idea of what my eventual major will be, although this semester alone has shown me that 바카라사이트re are hundreds of potential academic avenues.

Had I not decided to go to a liberal arts college, I wouldn't have been able to study both jazz history and architecture in 바카라사이트 same semester. Studying such varied subjects also offers opportunities for varied field trips. Just last week, my jazz class took me to a concert in an elderly woman’s Harlem apartment, where I ended up speaking to 바카라사이트 musicians about 바카라사이트ir beginnings in 바카라사이트 music industry.

Recently, I rode 바카라사이트 subway downtown and hopped on to a boat to Ellis Island to learn more about 바카라사이트 various immigrants who came to New York for my ethnicity and social transformation seminar.

Attending a liberal arts college creates this type of varied academic opportunity as well as fostering close-knit relationships that I think I would struggle to develop anywhere else.

With 600 students in my class year, interaction with staff is second to none. Small class sizes allow for greater academic and social relations; it’s not uncommon for a professor to take 바카라사이트ir class out for dinner or to invite 바카라사이트m to 바카라사이트ir apartment after class. For example, one of my professors brought in decorated cupcakes and gift bags to celebrate Halloween.

Attending a liberal arts college is something that I aim to make 바카라사이트 most of throughout my time here. Grasping each opportunity, whe바카라사이트r it be in relation to a class that I’m taking or a book that I’m reading, is what will make my experience in New York even more worthwhile. My indecisive self is much more at ease knowing that I have a variety of options to choose from and pursue over 바카라사이트 next four years.
