Brutally Honest One Sentence Descriptions Of 11 MRU Faculties
I'm sure you've all heard the cliche saying, "Never judge a book by it's cover." Of course this still holds true when you get to university, but since you're in the real world now, it's time to be a bit more skeptical about who you're hanging around with.
I find that one of the best ways to get to know someone without asking them all that many questions is to ask them their major. What a person chooses to pursue a future career in says a lot about them as a person. This isn't to say that you shouldn't hang out with someone who studies a specific thing, but you can definitely make assumptions about who you would get along best with.
