How has it been like as a history student navigating through a college that is geared so much towards medical and science major

• Came in as a marine bio major but switched 3 times 
• Liberal arts is small
• Not hard 

Do you ever feel disconnected from friends or peers since you belong to such a minority group on campus? For example, not finding a study buddy or having similar coursework to peers.

• Yes, hard to find people 
• History majors have a stereotype 
• Stem majors

What is a piece of advice you would give your freshman self?

“ Understand that you aren’t going to know what you want to do. Find avenues understand that it isn’t all going to pan out” 

Switching Majors? Why? 

• Marine bio → psych → animal behavior 
• Loved history and the ocean
