I would argue that social skills are more important than a double major. Consider doing a year abroad? Good luck, some of the people you meet will become lifelong friends.
Ya I had thought about doing a year abroad but realized I wouldn't be able to with doing a Double Major. I hadn't thought about how I could do a year abroad with the Single Major and not have to worry about which classes to take.
I had thought of going to Singapore as a really cool place to study abroad. Any other suggestions?
Don't pay 50 grand to spend a year abroad. Do whatever degree you decide to do as fast as humanly possible and then either start your working life, go to grad school, be a bum for a year, or volunteer someplace.
Also, all of those people talking to you about social skills and college, ignore them. Spending three or four years getting older, making mistakes and doing stuff will make your social skills better. Deliberately making your social skills better works much, much faster and can be done anytime, though I must admit college is an easy time to do it.
Singapore reminded me of a Tropical Vancouver. It's a great base to explore the rest of south east asia, a Beautiful Place.
If your already willing to pay $50k annually (and I complain about my $30k student debt), why don't you just go to college in Europe, Singapore, Australia or Canada? A Math PhD at Stanford that I talked to said that his University of Toronto engineering undergrad was pretty similar to the Stanford undergrad. It would probably be cheaper, and nicer.
I think I might do a year of study abroad and I am thinking that Singapore is my first choice. I don't necessarily want to do my entire education internationally but would definitely consider doing a year or a semester.
