Choosing a College

frank5254 asked:


Not factoring in money, or a major, what would be the best city to go to college? I would like New York, or maybe Boston, but what city did you go to college in and how did you like it.

If I go into college with an undetermined major rather than choose a major that I am simi-interested in, how will that effect my degree? Is it uncommon to not have a major the first year of college? My interests are political science, law, math, engineering and architecture.

i’m so confused. i don’t have a clue about which college I want to go to. There are so many schools out there, i don’t get how people can make this decision.

Please do answer, we need it in our thesis. thanks. =)
do your parents, peers or your environment influence you?

do you consider future job oppurtunities rather than you interests?

do you consider high salary offers rather than pursuing your passion?

Moosehead asked:


I’m in the process of choosing my colleges for the upcoming year, and I really want to attend Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore. I really loved the campus visit and felt like all of the things the admissions officer was talking about connected with me. However, I wish to major in Chemical Engineering, or perhaps another Chemistry field. I know Johns Hopkins has a strong Biology/Biomedical Engineering field, but I don’t think they’re too strong in the Chemical Engineering field.

Someone once told me that the classes required for both were not too different, but I’m not too sure about this.

I really do love Chemistry, I can deal with Physics, although I prefer Chem, and Calculus I’m currently learning. Should I decide to apply to Johns Hopkins even though I don’t know if their Chem fields are strong? Or should I apply to somewhere like UC Berkeley, which is ranked top in the Chemical Engineering field? I’ve never been to Berkeley, and this is for Early Decision.

I love sushi asked:


i want to set up a fund for her and have looked at 529, but I would like for her to still be able to use the money if she decides not to go to college maybe for a down payment on a first house. I would however like to mantain some control so she can’t use it to by a car and cloths. With a uniform gifts to minors account she gets control at 18. What would you suggest
