Should student debt be a major deterrent in determining which university to attend?
While there are many factors to consider when choosing a college, one of my largest has been the cost to attend. I know there is no clear-cut answer to whether or not a certain university is worth attending over the other, but should student debt be one of the most important (if not the most important) aspects? Is debt really that hard to live with or is it a mostly just an inconvenience? #student-debt #college
How does an academic major in college affect job opportunities in the music field?
Hi, I'm a senior in High School. I would like to pursue music as a career, but it is hard for me to find a major that has what I am looking for or one that I can afford/qualify for. My alternative is to apply to either the same college as my preferred program or a cheaper college as an academic major. But I am worried this will negatively affect my chances of succeeding musically in the future. Should I make this decision or will it not be rewarding? #college #majors #music #academic #student-debt #music-education #music-production #music-industry #college-major #college-advice
Do you have to go to a prestigious university to get into a "good" medical school?
I plan to study to become a #physician after I graduate from high school. I want to attend a "good" #medical-school, but I don't know if I'll be able to get into one if I attend a #public-school. I know that it is mostly up to me on whether I make it or not. But I have to believe that people who are undergraduates at #ivy-league schools are more likely to get into top medical schools. However, I don't want to be piled high with #student-debt before I even get to medical school, which will probably be even more #expensive . #premedical #medicine #premed
