What should I take to college?

I have an addiction to fashion--any new shoes, clothes, accessories, everything! I know I can't bring everything to college, so what are some basic essentials to bring? Maybe an extension cord; of course a mini fridge--what else?

What's the best way to pay for college?

College is unnecessarily expensive. All students are encouraged to go, but are never advised on how to pay for college. What is the best way people have found to be able to afford college and pay off student loans?

A lot of the colleges I'm considering don't have a "pre med" major, so I'm looking into majors such as biochemistry, biology, and chemistry. Do medical schools have a preference? #medicine #major #college #college-major #healthcare #hospital-and-health-care #biology #chemistry #academic-advising
