Other than if a college has your desired major, what should be a big deciding factor?

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...

Would zoology or animal sciences be better If i'm interested with working hands-on with animals?

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

Is the amount of work and school to become a medical student worth it?

I’ve been very interested in the medical field except I do not want to go to school for all my life. Are there any jobs in the medical field that do not require so much school but still make good money? #school #medicine
