Make sure to learn how to read research studies! Psychology is super interesting but it’s easy to fall behind so stay on track with reading and content.

Honestly pretty easy but the concepts can be very detailed. Really really interesting classes. All of my professors have been amazing and psychology goes in to so many different avenues like business marketing etc

A lot of people should know that you need to go grad school in order to make money. Though psychology can be a great major for both law or medical school.
