Most UAE students don’t actually know what their major is like before fully committing to it?

I’ve been speaking to university students in UAE universities recently and noticed something interesting:

Most students chose majors based on:

• "parents"
• "reputation"
• "friends"
• "salary assumptions"

But very few actually spoke to someone currently studying the degree.

I’m building a platform called unispov.com ("point of view") where UAE school students and parents can have peer to peer talk with current university students before choosing majors.

The idea is simple: before making a lifetime decision on your major and university, talk directly to someone living it right now

My question to the community:

• Would this be helpful for school students before choosing their major? speaking to several students across different majors or within same major before a lifetime commitment

I would genuinely love to hear your honest thoughts
