Which MS Finance Program should I choose?
Hello!! I will be pursuing a master's in Finance this year. I got accepted to 3 universities, but I don't know which one I should pick. I'm coming straight out of undergrad with a Bachelor's in liberal arts and haven't been able to secure any finance-related internships. So, I decided to do a master's in finance to pivot in my career. My goals are to be a financial analyst or an Investor relations professional, and I would like to pivot my career in financial planning down the line. I got accepted into MS QF from Northeastern, MSF from Ohio State, and MFIN from UCI. Which one should I pick based on my career goals? I live in CA currently and I got a 25k scholarship to attend UCI, 16k for Ohio, and 10k for Northeastern.

How Does the Colorado Opportunity Fund (COF) Work? #2025
I’m an in-state student planning to enroll in the Architectural Drafting Certificate program at Front Range Community College (FRCC). I’m trying to understand how the Colorado Opportunity Fund (COF) applies to my tuition. FRCC’s website lists tuition as $285 per credit hour for in-state students and $169 per credit hour after the COF stipend is applied. However, when I check my COF account, it shows that I’m awarded $145 and that $145 remains. I’ve already been approved for COF and selected to apply the stipend toward eligible courses. I’m planning to enroll in 6 credit hours for my first semester and want to understand how this amount will impact my tuition. Could someone please explain how the $145 COF amount is calculated and applied to tuition? Also, why does the actual reduction on FRCC’s website show only $116 per credit hour instead of $145? I’d appreciate any clarification or advice to help me make an informed decision. #2025
Reflecting on your college days, what small habit or choice that you adopted turned out to have the most significant impact on your life later on?
Being a high school senior, I understand the challenges of making tough choices, particularly with college decision day approaching. However, moving to college represents a completely new atmosphere that we seniors are about to enter. It's an exciting opportunity, yet it's terrifying to think about. Personally, I recognize that I require appropriate guidance and insights to distinguish between a poor decision and a wise one.

What is the best way to avoid student debt, going into college?
I’m a 12th grade student and I’m really nervous about college. My family is low income and we can’t afford big loans. What should I do?
Would it be necessary to double major, or are there other options?
My current career plan is this: my primary income comes from private piano/voice lessons. Then I also want to be a freelance opera singer, and freelance repetiteur, while also doing solo recitals. I probably want to do two operas a year at most (and I most likely wouldn't do two every year), and then when I don't have an opera gig, try to get a gig as a repetiteur. Obviously, those gigs are by auditions, opera especially, so if I didn't have either or didn't choose to have either at that time, then I would like to tour as a soloist for piano/voice or both. In any given year, one could have more emphasis than the other (one year i have one opera and one repetituer, the next I have one repetiteur and tour recitals). I hope that makes sense. Now, with all of that information, is it necessary to double major or dual emphasis in piano performance and voice performance? I would like to have equal emphasis in both, since I basically just want to do both almost equally. Is there another option? Could I cater my college schedule to just include emphasis in both? How could I do that? Can I have dual emphasis? Please explain! Thank you!

As a music major, where should I go to college?
I plan to major in music. For my bachelor's degree, is it smarter to go to an in-state school to try to save some money, or is it worth it to try to get into the best conservatory I can? For context, if I go to an in-state school I would be considering the University of Kansas, Kansas State University, and Wichita State University.
What are the best options for me as someone interested in Cybersecurity and/or Software Engineer as a career?
Hello, I am a Junior who is researching about what colleges to go, I am interested in doing cybersecurity and software engineer as my career(another question is what is the difference in software engineer and software developer and computer science). I live around the Washington area and am interested in attending UW but their acceptance is under 50%, I don't do much extracurriculars, I do MMA (classes), Soccer (scrimmage every week) and Swim (classes)and some volunteer hours, but I have a good GPA.

Could a degree in business, as well as history, help me find a career in Museum work?
I am a high school senior about to go to University. I am going to major in history with the goal of pursuing museum work or teaching. As much as I love history/humanities, they are not usually easy fields to break into or very high paying. Therefore, I'm would like to major in Business Admin. as well. Business is not what I'm passionate about, but it is something reliable I can fall back on if I can't find a job in the field I want. My question is mostly aimed to those in museum work, particularly those who are in charge of hiring: In your opinion, would a degree in both business and history stand out in a potential employee? And could the skills learned in a business degree apply to museum work in a way that would encourage potential employers to hire me? Thanks!
