Since a lot of high schools weight their GPAs differently, and since SATs and ACTs are standardized, I was wondering which aspect makes more of a difference when applying to colleges.

I've seen some scholarships online for Juniors, but not as much. Are there any other websites that offer a lot of scholarships? If not what are ways or programs that offer scholarship money?

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?

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?

I have a Linkedin but all the internships require one to be currently pursuing a college degree but I'm still a senior in high school. I'm interested in UX Design and Computer science.

I know textbooks are really expensive in college so I wanted to know the best plan for getting textbooks. Does buying or renting make a difference in the cost of textbooks? If buying is better, should I get used or new books? #college #textbooks #cost

I start college in the fall and I don't have a roommate yet. I just wanted to know how I can be the best roommate I can be and how to know a roommate is for me. #college #roommate

I have noticed a problem that has often appeared when people have or own pets that require care, which are usually turned away because a vet only specializes with specific species, or they must travel a great distance in order to get the care their animal needs. Especially in agricultural...

I hope to open my own practice after I have fulfilled all the requirements to become one, but I would like to know the pros and cons of going solo instead of joining a clinic, animal hospital, or organization. #veterinary #animals

I don’t know what I want to major in/do in my future however I plan on taking calculus (as a junior) and have a 4.0. I know I have endless choices I just don’t know of any specific jobs. #choosing-a-major #college-major #college-majors #mathmatics #math #college

I am undecided on if I want to attendlarge university, of a smaller college. Id like to inquire on the differences between both and what works well. #college #college-major #college-advise #university

I plan on attending college, however I don’t want to deal with having college debt. Would going to a trade school or getting into the workforce early be better instead of attending a 4 year University? #college-bound #tradeschool #college-advice #college #debt

I know all students learn differently, especially students with special needs. For future reference I am curious as to how does one make sure that you communicate effectively with each student, so that they all learn and understand. #special-education #being-an-elementary-teacher...

I am asking because as a student we have a list of classes that we should take as education majors to graduate, but I always wonder if there are any classes that a future educator should take that is not in the set list of classes that students take. Classes that would help out even more in...

I'm a Business Management major and have aspirations of becoming a CEO on day. With technology becoming a growing trend in today's society, would communications or computer science be a more beneficial minor for a possible CEO of a technology/technological sales company #future #ceo #technology...

I work and I heard my counselor say that is something that a lot of colleges don't see anymore. They see a lot of impressive writing camps and things like that to make them stand out, but I just want to know what makes you really stand out to colleges when they are looking through your...

I am in a couple of lecture classes, but because I am still in High School, the teachers still tend to hold our hands a little bit with it. I feel like the level of intensity will change once I am in college and I would like to know how to be better prepared with it also considering the fact...

It is just difficult to get a job as an artist and i want to know if there is anyone out there with a fine arts degree who has a good paying job #artschool #artist

I don't want to spend the rest of my life in school, but I do want to teach at the college level. I'm debating between getting my PhD in history or English/writing. Would it be too much of a hassle to double major and then decide?

I've been told that I might have better luck getting a teaching position at a school like Virginia Tech (where I live) if I go to a school like Harvard. However, I want to teach English/History which is not Virginia Tech's focus at all, it being an engineering and agriculture school. Do I still...

I am asking if I should could Nationally Certified as a teacher because does this give me better skills to be a teacher or just extra accreditation? I want to always find more ways to keep kids engaged. #teaching

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

I'm worried I won't make it into medical school- it's very competitive. What could I do instead of it doesn't work out? #medicine #doctor #healthcare #hospital-and-health-care
