Do all Engineering fields require 4 or 5 years of college?
Some colleges we've visited have leaned more towards 5 years, suggesting first year is when you really are deciding on a Major or considering changing course. Has that been anyone's experience? #engineering

I'm debating between Biomedical Engineering and Dentistry. Would most of my core classes for either contribute to my decision for a major?
I've done well in all of my STEM classes. I'm leaning towards Engineering, but haven't quite decided. I've started considering Pre Dentistry to see where my interests take me. #engineering #biomedical #dentistry #dental

When should I start visiting colleges?
Should I visit before I apply, like in the summer after my junior year? Or after I apply and get accepted?
Because why would I visit a place that might not accept me? #campus-visit #college-admissions #college-selection

Should I attend a private or public college/university?
I know that public colleges in Illinois are required to accept 3's on AP exams, which I might have gotten, but I also hear that private colleges can offer more financial aid.
At which type of college would I end up saving more money? #financial-aid #ap-exam

How do I know if I am choosing the right major for the career path I want to take?
I am currently stuck between three different majors because they are all so similar. I know what career I want to pursue but I also know that it might take a while to get there. I want to make sure that I am choosing the right major so I can have enough versatility and not be at a stand still,...

Should I get a job during the first semester of freshman year or wait until second semester?
I really need money both for college and for my pockets. I've heard people say not to get a job as soon as you start college and to wait until you get settled in and I've heard the exact opposite.

How does one go about looking for a programming job?
I'm guessing that I'm not gonna find a job by seeing a sign in a window somewhere. So do I look on the internet and if so do you have a suggested site? This is just for my future self. #jobs #programming #tech #websites #companies
