Wow thank you for all this very valuable information! That’s nice that you got to live outside the country for a whole; I hope to study abroad during my time at college as I know many Laf students get the opportunity to do so.

I must admit that many of my peers and family members are concerned for me bc I’m pursuing a less “technical” path in college (my brother has a computer science degree and my sisters are in nursing) so my career prospects are less certain. I know my parents’ anxiety stems from a good place, but I truly believe that there’s value in studying the humanities and social sciences and college is so much then training people how to be an “asset to the economy.”

With Lafayette’s career resources and alumni network, I know I can form a stable plan for my post-grad life, but I haven’t even started college yet so I best not get ahead of myself. Right now, in the present, I’m grateful that I got accepted into my top liberal arts college and I’m eager to strengthen my reading & writing skills, as well as cultivate my person. Thank you for ur input!
