-- Posted by BeautifulLies82 at 3:00 pm on Aug. 16, 2008 I'm starting college in two weeks. I'm going to be really close to home but I'm still scared. My room mate is 4 years older than me and has lived in the dorm all summer. Will there be somewhere that I can go to help me pick my major? Is there usually a counselor on campus? -- Posted by JudeLaurence at 3:02 pm on Aug. 16, 2008 All students usually get an academic advisor.  Your advisor (usually) will have experience in your specific department.  Since you don't have a major yet, you will probably get someone who has experience in a major-exploration capacity. -- Posted by BeautifulLies82 at 3:23 pm on Aug. 16, 2008 I'm actually enrolled in liberal arts...and I honestly don't even know what that means. -- Posted by bryce101 at 10:32 pm on Aug. 17, 2008 thats actually really good that ur room mate has been there because (hopefully) she'll have friends all ready so u can meet a bunch of new people easily.
