When the High School era comes to an end, a new chapter begins. Last year os high school tends to be more stressful than any other because of the rush, excitement, and worries about sending college applications. The hardest thing is to know what one wants to study. How many times throughout our life we have changed what we thought was our ideal professions? No one is born knowing what to study. It is something that takes time, trial and error, and so on. Many people switch degrees after a year because they realize they don’t like what they thought they would. However, when it comes to psychology, the story is totally different. There are some professions that you are born with, you feel its right for you to study and build your career around that. Psychology is about helping other people by disovering the million different ways in which the human mind works. There are many different paths one can take after studying psychology, but before we need to complete our BA. So which universities offer the best psychology program?
