I applied to St. Andrews. I initially wanted to study there all four years and applied for Philosophy and Psychology. I thought the W&M program was a supplement to the application that you could accept or reject (it's like this for most additional programs at American schools, and I applied at the last minute as an American student). However, St. Andrews only offers one program, and I got into international relations. I'm a little disappointed because I wanted to study in one place for years (for social life purposes). So I was considering emailing them to see if it's possible to switch me to the Philosophy and Psychology. But I'm also interested in international relations and am wondering if I should actually consider this program. Also, would they be willing to switch me?

I was also considering UCSB i gave up the dream because i wanted a small liberal arts vibe and figured i could live by the beach later in life. i also got into lafayette. btw im considering law school or otherwise some other form of grad school. I wanna study poli sci, psychology, philosophy, maybe econ or sociology but anyway that sort of field. I want some good travel opportunities and a fun social life. i also am kinda a nerd tbh not rly in the traditional sense but i love learning, reading, deep conversations etc and im looking for similar people (but i do believe you can find those people anywhere) im also a pretty chill not high stress person - anyway all that said id love some opinions from anyone who knows

Im from the east coast and Im considering UCSB but everyone especially parents keeps telling me its not intellectual. Basically that its just a party school and that i should go to a small liberal arts school like Colgate. Their negative vibes are sort of influencing my thought processes. Is there anything you could tell me to refute their statements?
