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

Is it okay to pick a major that does not have a lot of job opportunities in the state you live in?

My current major is Apparel Merchandising and Product Development and with me being in Ohio, the jobs can be limited because it is not one of the larger, more fashion driven states. Would it be too risky to stick with it , and chance the possibility of relocating? #career #career-counseling

Regarding internships, is there certainty for students who don't apply for work-study to intern in their particular field of study?

I am a recently graduated high school senior going on to pursue a degree in neuroscience at the University of Illinois at Chicago. My concern was if students who didnt apply for work-study would have a hard time finding internships. #internships #financial-aid

How do I select a major that will benefit me in the long run?

I lot of people that I know who graduated college have degrees in fields that have absolutely no correlation to their jobs. I don't want to make that same mistake. I plan on double majoring in Math and Creative Writing. #math #majors #degrees #creative-writing
