Some universities expect the students to choose a major field of study when they enter the school; while other universities wait until the second or the third year before students deciding to choose a major field of study. Which do you prefer? Why or why not?

I think maybe the university should wait until the second or third year before the students deciding to choose a major field of study. Because I think when they were younger not everyone know what he want to do. They never go to societies they just at home, talk with their parents, or sisters or brothers or classmate. The information is very short. So I think maybe they should study until the school’s one years, and talk with their universities classmate or maybe someone graduations the universities. Someone go to work, they can talk a lot and the students can understand what they want to do and they want to be.

They never went into society, they just stayed at home, talked with their parents, or sisters or brothers or classmates. The students’ information about the real world is insufficient. So I think maybe they should study until their second year, and talk with their university classmates, or maybe someone who graduated from the university, or someone who works. They can give some advice and some suggestions and then the students can understand better what they want to do and what they want to be.
