I am curious and want to understand how much money goes into a single semester abroad. #college #college-bound #study-abroad

It is very difficult to determine what country to study abroad in that will relate to my major. Are there any countries that come to mind when you think "Math major?" #college #career #mathematics #math #college-bound #study-abroad

Hopefully this question can help anyone who is deciding that they want to study abroad but don't know where is the best place for them to do so. #college #college-major #college-bound #study-abroad #hbcu

There has been discussion over the years that employers check the social media pages of potential employees. Is this true? How wary should one be when posting online, even if the posts are private (between friends)? #job-search #social-media #background-checks

The main professional website that people use is LinkedIn, but are there other websites people should look into? #college #college-bound #colleges #networking #linkedin

Some say that you should pick something that is interesting to you as a minor, but others would suggest picking a minor that will compliment your major. Which is a better suggestion? #college #college-major #college-bound #colleges #college-minor

I only know of a few of these programs, such as the Rhodes program, but is there a list or database of all programs like this, preferably online? #college #college-bound #databases #opportunities #fellowships

Since that is a very broad major, perhaps list some of the most rewarding jobs that someone who is a Bio major should look into. #college #college-major #biology #colleges

An example would be bigfuture.collegeboard.org. Basically, what do you consider to be a great website/online resource to help prospective students find colleges that are a great fit for them? #college #college-admissions #college-bound #search

Since I didn't do anything this summer, I was wondering how I can start to prepare for next summer. I want to do something interesting, such as intern, volunteer, study abroad, etc, but I don't know where to start. Thanks! #internships #volunteering #internship #study-abroad #volunteer

I never knew that many internships demand applications by early deadlines, so I now realize that it is a bit too late to find any. However, I was wondering if someone could give advice on how to get involved for the last month or two before school starts back. Thanks! #internships #internship...

I'm starting to look up different study abroad programs, so I was wondering what factors should I focus on when doing my research? #study-abroad

I am debating if I should simply enter my major, GPA, relevant coursework, and awards I received from/while attending each institution. Is there any additional information I should add? #education #resume #linkedin

I am currently filling out the description section under each of my awards/honors on LinkedIn. How vague should the information be and what is the max number of lines/sentences I should use to describe each award? Should I quote where I got my information from (if I'm noting specifics)? P.S. I...

My cousin is graduating next spring and I want to help him find impressive and enriching programs to get involved in this summer. I know it is already June, but I hope to find something that can make him stand out on college applications. He likely has to start sending those out in August or...

I have created and re-created many resumes, but I never created a cover letter. What are their purpose, and why are they important? #job-search #resume #cover-letters #job-searching

As an undergrad student with no work experience, what are some other sections that I can add to my resume to stand out? I want to show my employer that even though I've never had an official job, I have acquired skills that make me suitable for the position. #jobs #job #resume #working

I have two resumes: the simple resume looks rather boring to me, as if it was made in high school (which it was!), but the professional resume looks like it has a lot of info that can deter others from reading it. What guidelines should I follow to make sure I don't put too much or too little...

I accomplished many things in high school, but I know there is a point where future employers, colleges, etc only care for one's endeavors in college. When would one say that it's time to put "childish" things away?
#college #resume #high-school #colleges

Many institutions that are cheaper yet offer the same, or better, education to students don't get as much recognition in the press. Can someone provide a list of colleges with great STEM and/or Math programs that are often "underrated?" #college #mathematics #colleges #stem #college-selection...

In the modern age, having a 2400 on the SAT (at least the previous version) and a 4.0+ GPA seems to be the only way to be fully-funded by universities, and for some that doesn't even cut it. Doesn't such standards discourage students from applying to those institutions? I understand that...

I was blessed enough to visit two college campuses and see what it was really like aside from what was mentioned in the brochures. I would love for an expert to expand on the importance of going on college tours for students unsure of what college to attend. #college #student #colleges...

As college students, we recognize that we must be distinguishable in our field, but many of us, especially those who are first-generation college students, are unsure of how to do so. Please expand on what individuals can do to become more experienced other than doing internships and working in...

I am struggling to find a job this summer, and wherever I look, the employer requires me to have at least a year of prior experience. Should I still apply to those jobs with hope that they'll hire me? #jobs #job #experience #work #hiring

I am curious how others have applied what they have learned to their current jobs and/or internships. #major #work #learning

Many prospective college students aim to apply to colleges with a name that is popular and more known. However, experts mention that smaller colleges can provide the same, or better, environment for students to learn. May someone clarify how this can be? #college #education #learning-environment

I have considered studying a Calc textbook during the summer to learn the basics and start to take my understanding of math to a deeper level. I would love advice on approaching the subject matter and becoming an expert in my field. Thank you in advance! #mathematics #math #major

I have been struggling to find an internship or job that directly relates to my major, so I was wondering if anyone has an idea of where I should work for my first job? I would like for it to relate to my major. I am not sure what I want to do with my degree yet, but since my first year of...
