How do i know which school to attend?

I know that when it comes to choosing a school, you're supposed to look for classes that would help you get a degree in the field you want, but other than that how do I know which school is right for me to attend?

is it common for you to change your major?

When I first started college, I went to become an engineer. But near the end of my first semester, I think I want to become a STEM teacher instead. Is it normal to question the major you thought you wanted, and change to a new major instead? #Majors

What langauge courses would be most beneficial to study in university?

Most universities (that I have seen) require a language as a part of your study program. Are there any languages that are preferred by employers or should be considered more (i.e. ASL, Chinese, Spanish..) or can it just be our preference? Thank you!
