Hello,
Currently I'm a Physics major, and I'm thinking maybe I should add a Japanese major -- I'd like to learn the language.
I can go through all my nominal Physics stuff in 4 years...
...and, if I decide to add a Japanese major, I can go to Japan for a year.
What do you guys think? Do the benefits of learning a language and being able to stay in another country outweigh the cost of another year at USC? (good god it's expensive here).
Anyone with real world experience on the benefits of learning a language?
(Only problem is applying to grad schools and taking the GRE...how the heck am I supposed to those when I'm in another country )
Thanks,
Darien
