Maintaining the routine of two colleges, two courses is not easy. For this, the student must give up things that are of fundamental importance to their life, such as: taking a walk with friends, dating, participating in parties and events, in addition to having to devote hours to studies and work academics.
Considering that this is the dream of many university students, many have been busy with this intention, in order to better prepare for the job market.
However, to attend two faculties, it is important that the courses have connections between them, so that they can be used during their professional career. It's no use sacrificing doing dentistry and engineering, for example, if at the end of both paths to be taken will be totally different.
The internship fields are also very difficult, as the student will not have enough time to devote to gaining experience for both professions. Studying in two periods will only have one period to do an internship, in addition to not having enough time to do homework, it may compromise your learning.
Do not stop now... There's more after the advertising ;)
The financial side should also be considered, as in addition to not having time to do two internships, the costs will be doubled with the purchase of books, photocopies, transport, etc. Besides, if the colleges are private, the expenses will be really high.
So, don't think that taking two courses will be an easy thing, as time will be short and the student may become stressed. But if this is the best option for the career, the sacrifice will be worth it.
It is good to remember that nowadays the market values the accumulation of graduations and specializations a lot and, therefore, this can be a good option to stand out.
Even though I like two courses, being in doubt about the choice of profession, it is important to emphasize that sooner or later the option for one of them should happen, prioritizing the one with the greatest pleasure, after all, you can't exercise both, but reconcile them.
