Most of your college experiences will be positive, but you may also confront anti-Semitism on the campus. Work with other Jewish students to develop responses to intolerance and prejudice. Don't hesitate to call on community organizations for help if you are not getting the support you require from the school administration. One way to head off problems is to become involved in projects with other student groups. Work with your counterparts in the Asian, Hispanic and African-American student communities.
Most students get to college and immediately begin to worry about their major and future career.
The next four years may be the only time in your life when you are almost totally free to explore the world of knowledge. Later, you'll have jobs, families and other responsibilities and will wish you had time to study architecture or philosophy or music. If you want to be a doctor, by all means go pre-med, but consider taking as many courses in as many disciplines as you can. One other general suggestion. If you have the chance, do an internship in Washington and take at least part of your junior year abroad.
