I'm an Informatics major. I chose it because I read the mission statement of the school and it resonated with me. I've discovered that it's more of a bridge to what I want to do next--education--than anything else.

My advice: cross the bridge when you come to it, not before.

Girls will show up in your life; for every new person you meet, there's a 50% chance that person will be female. C'est la vie. Maybe they won't physically attract you, but they might be great to hang out with. They're people. Some of my closest friends happen to be female; I find I love their perspective on life, and the conversations I have with them are interesting.

The more diverse your friends are, the more perspectives you get exposure to, and that's really the greatest thing about a university. So explore the other gender, explore people from poor and rich backgrounds, explore other ethnicities, make your choices, don't feel obligated to anyone you don't like, and so on.
