Thinking of transferring and need real advice?

Asked by blueberry_kid (5957points) October 17th, 2016

Before you start judging me, I have a lot of respect for my adviser, but she’s a Sociology professor and doesn’t know much about anything I’d like to do. The school I’m currently attending is a phenomenal school and gives me the opportunity to create my own major of Industrial Design, by combing Engineering Science, Physics, and various forms of Art, but I’m considering transferring for a few reasons. I don’t like liberal arts particularly because it’s making focus on classes that I don’t not care about, but it’s not something I want to have to worry about when I could be focusing on my major, even though that’s what I thought I would enjoy because that set apart this school from others. Also, I don’t want to have to worry about getting my major approved by curriculum and worrying whether or not it’ll work. I also don’t really like the location of the school, it’s too rural.

So, to make a long story short, I want to transfer to a school where I’ll have a better opportunity in Industrial Design. The problem though is that the schools that all offer industrial design are not of appeal to me, so I was wondering what majors would relate best to Industrial Design that has a design aspect and involves engineering and product design in some way? I was considering Civil Engineering or just majoring in Physics and having a minor in studio art or graphic design.

Please help because I don’t quite know what to do.
