Why do many students not complete undergraduate degree after 4 years?

Many schools show low percentage of 4 year graduation rates. Are these percentages for BS or BA degrees? Any why does it seem to take most student longer than 4 years to finish their undergrad degree? #academic-advisor

How important are job co-op opportunities to employment after graduation?

I am interested in civil engineering. Some of the colleges I have looked at require a co-op, and others do not. It seems like a co-op would be a good idea. Is there any hard data on co-op opportunities and whether they led to employment quicker? #engineering #career #services

The college I will attend in the Fall wants me to be a "walk on" for track. I never requested to participate in sports.; I would like to concentrate on my studies. Should I do it, or should I concentrate on my studies?

I was the 2015 State Champion for JV Girls Cross Country (Independent Schools). I also hold my school's record for the 400 meter event. I need more scholarships, but I really want to concentrate on my studies. I do not want to lose the scholarships I already have. #college #career...

Do engineers only work at a desk, or do they also do field work to create stuff?

For example I want to be mechanical engineer, but I want to help building stuff like: Creating houses where the walls can absorb energy and use it or a Space plane that can launch form the ground. I wonder how long does it take to actually work as an active engineer? #engineering #engineer...

Is it possible for students adapt to new career paths that are unrelated to their major? And if so, what steps should they take?

A lot of times, people end up having a new passion that is unrelated to their degree. I have seen many professionals gain high profile jobs even though they had a degree that was unrelated to their career. I was curious to see how a student could gain experience in a different field and dive...

Diversity is becoming a big component for many companies. I believe that diversity should not be just stated but it should be felt. What are some ways an organization can make diversity something that is felt rather than sold?

As a student that is on the Diversity Empowerment Council at the Robert H. Smith School of Business, I would like to find out new creative ways to create initiatives that will help empower my community.

Will you get used to seeing gross things in the medical field?

I don't have a weak stomach perhaps but I am really caring now and if I see someone hurt bad, I don't think I could help myself but to do everything to help. I usually look away but being what I want to do, I have to get used to it. #doctor #medicine #nurse #healthcare #hospital-and-health-care
