Choosing A College Or University Does Not Only Mean Choose Where You Want To Go!

They also have to consider the opportunities that the college or university provides for their major, minor, or career.

High school seniors have to apply to colleges or universities. Most high school seniors choose colleges or universities based on how they look or what they have for fun. However, choosing a college or university is not all about where they want to go. They also have to consider the opportunities that the college or university provides for their major, minor, or career.

Some colleges or universities are Ivy League. Some high school seniors apply for those colleges because they are good to go to, they will increase their academic reputation, and they will increase their chances of landing a job. However, they have to make sure if the college or university is good for their major, minor, or career. Some colleges or universities that are not Ivy League are well-known for that certain major, minor, or career. These colleges or universities can help them land a job for that certain major, minor, or career.

Some colleges or universities have master’s programs. Some majors, minors, or careers require college students to pursue a master’s degree. Imagine a scenario where a high school senior gets into his or her dream college. Sadly, his or her dream college or university does not have a master’s program or does not require a master’s degree for his or her major, minor, or career. However, another student went to a college or university that has a master’s program or requires a master’s degree for his or her major, minor, or career. Master’s degrees help students increase their chances of getting hired and earning more money. The high school senior will not get this opportunity because of his or her dream college. This will be unfair to him or her.

If you are a high school senior, then make sure that you research the opportunities that your college provides for your major, minor, or career first. Then, you can decide which one to go to.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
