I'm overwhelmed with all the possible colleges I could go to and I'm not sure what's the most important factor to look at. Obviously it's necessary that the college has your desired major, but is there anything else that's very important that soon-to-be freshman aren't aware of yet? #college...

I want to work with animals after college in maybe an animal sanctuary or wildlife reserve and i don't know if I should take the route of zoology or animal sciences. I'm aware that animal sciences is more focused on farm animals but I'd like to work with more wild animals. #zoology #animalsciences

I'm thinking of doing computer science however I have other interests and was thinking of minoring in them.
