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.

autumn t asked:


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.

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
