Career Goals
There is a bigger gap in the education of students and during the gap, they explore a lot of things about their education or career. So, there is a possibility that many students will change their major plans about the study or will change their career goals. But on the other hand, this is very challenging for them to move on from one subject to another.
Overwhelmed by Large Classes
