After the first semester she changed her major and would have lost the credits for the whole first semester.
I agree with you completely. I worked at several colleges and between knowing students there and within my personal life have seen most people start out with one major only to change at some point before graduation. I've also known many who never worked in the field they majored in at college. You need to be flexible more than anything.
