Oh geez..more about my college problems..

I think general biology is a good major; there are heaps of medical advances in both human and veterinary medicine that use it. Don't freak out over the odd bad grade; I had to take linear algebra and it was the pits. Find a math tutor who can give actual real-world applications to the equations, not just rote memorization. I appreciated calculus a LOT more when I discovered it was actually useful in chemistry, physics and even economics. Good luck!

Online reviews will always be mixed - you just can't please everybody! If you feel like you're being led back to biology every time you think of a different career path, you should probably stick with it. I think that you'd be able to excel at WHATEVER you chose to do, Alyssa, but as you say, there's no point being 'successful' and unhappy! Stick with the course. Don't let the maths get to you. It's one very small aspect of that entire field that will be opened up to you when you graduate. I know that my PT visits can be spasmodic (I'm hoping to be able to stick around whilst I have my lab project and less lecture hours), but PM me if you ever want help or a rant. I have no idea how much I'd actually remember from my Further Maths A level but I could give it a shot!
