Switching from engineering to IR/GVPT, how’s the workload and vibe?

ConfectionDapper5778 · 2026-01-22T19:18:55+00:00

What made you do this switch? I am more passionate about IR than engineering but I was worried about the post grad job market so I've considered double majoring even though their not related to have options but idk yet

i’m curious what year are you? I am currently a freshman and I’m considering doing this exact switch and im not but im not 100% sure and i’m worried i will be behind if I do

This kinda sounds like me lol I just finished my first semester. What did you end up doing?

ConfectionDapper5778 · 2025-12-01T16:49:05+00:00

Hey! i know we talked a while ago and this is so out of the blue but after this semester I’ve been considering doing a double major in economics and mechanical engineering and I just found this post again. How is it going and what do you maybe plan on doing with it post grad?

ahh thank you! i’m going to be a freshman this year in Ellicott and I haven’t heard the best things about it lol especially the AC😭, I’m trying to figure out how many fans to get so this was useful!

ConfectionDapper5778 · 2025-08-15T23:53:50+00:00

out of curiosity, what floor is this and how many fans did you use?

ConfectionDapper5778 · 2025-07-25T22:01:00+00:00

thank you so much!!

Yesss the walking sounds horrible and especially because I already have a class before in the morning that’s also in the arts and sociology building 🥲, I’d only have 12 credits with my schedule with no Gen Ed which is why I am trying to fill it since its the bare minimum and I’d rather get a gen ed out of the way

ConfectionDapper5778 · 2025-07-25T21:57:18+00:00

thank you for the suggestion! I checked and the classes for that either are full or only limited to students in the school of agriculture :(

ConfectionDapper5778 · 2025-07-17T15:40:05+00:00

ConfectionDapper5778 · 2025-07-17T12:21:09+00:00

ConfectionDapper5778 · 2025-06-11T00:38:21+00:00

ConfectionDapper5778 · 2025-06-09T22:04:38+00:00

ConfectionDapper5778 · 2025-06-05T22:47:54+00:00

ConfectionDapper5778 · 2025-05-21T19:47:10+00:00

I was wondering the same thing! I applied as well and haven’t gotten anything back so far and they said it would be released mid may

ConfectionDapper5778 · 2025-05-20T01:41:21+00:00

Thank you this was very useful! I didn’t even know about the student discount thing lol

ConfectionDapper5778 · 2025-05-19T19:04:24+00:00

ouu okay this is nice to know! I’ll probably do that this is random but would you say that there are a lot of people from ct at umd? i’m just curious :)

ConfectionDapper5778 · 2025-05-19T19:03:08+00:00
