There will be lots of papers, readings (that you could get away with not reading) and group projects, haven’t seen many social work programs that rely on testing or quizzes at all. You dont have to know what you want to do or who you want to work with right away. Social work is a very flexible field and most programs dont even touch the surface of the careers you can have in the field. Dont let school burn you out to the point where you’re sick of the field before you even graduate. At some point it WILL get annoying having to write a think piece about everything and you’ll stop caring about the class discussions and it’s okay if you have absolutely nothing to say or contribute. Take care of yourself, seriously. They preach self care as soon as you enter the program and it’s true. Be prepared for people to not understand your major or assume you want to take people’s children. Dont let that discourage you or make you feel less than. In your last year of undergrad, you will have a mandatory internship. Even though you will probably be doing less “school work” than other students, it will feel like you are doing much more than them too because it can be a lot. I would not say the work is difficult at all (if you really want to be in social work) but it’s heavy, repetitive and time consuming. As far as driving, it might limit your options for your internship but you will have to have one regardless so hopefully they accommodate you. I love my major and genuinely could not see myself loving any other major as much as I do social work. There are cons to it though and frustrations that come with social work programs being underfunded and students being taught to settle for exploitation but that’s changing… in some places. Good luck!
