I really like a college but it is far away from my family and my home. I am worried that I will not be able to adjust. How do you know if you are ready to leave home? #college-bound

Does the Marketing major actually prepare you for real-word jobs?

I'm asking because I've heard stories about how the marketing majors in college don't actually teach you what a marketing job requires and others who say the classes do help.

Are gap years ok to take before med school?

My goal is to go to medical school and become a physician. However, I feel that if I have a little more time, I can get more clinical experience and be a more competitive applicant. Are gap years looked down upon by medical schools?

Do potential employers look at whether you went to a state school or a private school? Does it sway their decision?

As a New York native, state education would be a cheaper option. However, my #1 choice school is a private school in Pennsylvania. Do employers have a preference of which of these schools they would rather have someone go to? #college #future
