For example, a double major in French and Child Development...will it be too much of a hassle?

sorry, i should have put French and Child Development as my majors. This is what I want to pursue, but I want to know what you all think about it.

The only drawback I can see (and know of, from personal experience) is that 2 majors, instead of a major and minor, would leave you with fewer elective credits. Sometimes elective courses can be really excellent for personal/academic/professional development. It also shows that you are well-rounded.
If, however, you are extremely passionate about French and Child Development, and you know this degree will be very helpful in finding a career in that field (i.e. French Immersion child care programs, teacher, etc.) then I say go for it.
It's up to you! I have a friend who worked on 2 completely separate degrees (Bachelor of Music in piano performance and Bachelor of Science, general route) before applying for med school. He wants to be a general practitioner and teach piano on the side, so it will really help him. However, he did hate his life for much of his undergrad schooling.
If you have the passion, the drive, and a good reason to do it, go ahead and claim 2 majors! Remember that it's not set in stone if you're still fairly early in your degree--it won't be too difficult to switch to a major with minor degree. Good luck!

It depends on how much time you want to spend earning your degrees, and on how much you enjoy both majors. Double majoring takes the least time when the two majors share several required classes, like, say, English and Linguistics. French and Child Development won't have many classes in common, so you'll have to plan on taking longer to complete both majors. But, if you go on to graduate school, you'll already have a language under your belt. . . .
But why not try the double major, if you love both subjects? You can always change your mind if they become too much. Good luck.

Sarah, I known lots of young women who have completed double majors. See an academic counselor to be sure you cover all your requirements in the right amount of time. It is hard work, but do it while you are young and it will be so worth it for you. And you might think about studying in France one year, or at least during the summer. I know so many people who have been so glad they did that.

Hi Sarah!~ evaluate your time, it will take a lot of time. Maybe pursue it in the second are, after you see how capable you are with the workload. But if you have the passion for the two subjects, I'm sure you'll be able to do it. Good on u for enthusiastic about uni though!~

It depends on the majors. I had Computer Science and Business. There were a lot of overlapping classes back then.
