Introduction

Choosing the right and suitable major for university is very crucial for all students. Because, there are a lot of different challenges faced by students during university. 

One of the problems is when the challenges start to get really tough, some students might realize that they are enrolled in a wrong major that is not suitable for them, thus they cannot enjoy the process during their study in university. 

Based on research conducted by Educational Psychologist, Irene Guntury of Indonesia Development Flexibility (IDF) stated that there are approximately 87% students in Indonesia who choose the wrong or unsuitable major in the university. There are several factors that contributed to how a student can choose a wrong major for their study in university, such as:

• Following Friends

A lot of high school students did not want to be separated from their colleagues in high school. Thus, instead of choosing a university major that is suitable for them, they choose the same major as their colleague without noticing that the major might not be suitable for them.

• Excessive amount of suggestions

In this era, accessing information is very easy. A lot of students nowadays try to absorb as much information as possible regarding the university in hope that they will have sufficient information to choose the major which is suitable for them. Turns out, too much information might lead the student to be confused about what major they want to choose.
