Is it better and cheaper to go to a out of state college if I live in California?

I have compared the prices of colleges in and out of state and I realize that it would be cheaper to leave the state. However, I am unsure whether this will be a good choice or not. #college #college-admissions #career #higher-education

What would be a good minor to pair with a Computer Engineering major?

As I plan on majoring in Computer Engineering, I was wondering what minor would go best with this major. I am not sure if a minor in math or physics or CS would help me with employers since they would assume that I already know it. Does anyone have any suggestions? #college #engineering...

How important is a minor or double major when applying for a job?

Looking ahead at different classes offered it'd be relatively easy to major in ChemE and minor in mathematics or biochemistry. I'm wondering if this would look better than being more involved in school clubs or the like.
