Spend a day with Andrew, a first-year student exploring academics, community, and campus life at Occidental College.
In this week-in-the-life video blog, Andrew, a first-year student, shares what it’s like to be undeclared at Occidental College, taking advantage of small classes, interdisciplinary learning, and the flexibility to choose a major after the first year.
