Abstract

Social public opinion plays a crucial role in shaping the major choices of college students. This study, using university B as a sample, offers a novel perspective by analyzing the correlation between public opinion and actual student status data on enrollment, major transfers, and dropouts from a student status data standpoint. The findings indicate a strong correlation between public opinion and students’ major choices. However, the study also highlights a significant disparity between public opinion and professional evaluations of majors, which is an issue that warrants attention from both universities and students alike.
