During #summer18 , I plan to work on my college applications. What do you wish you knew going into it? In hindsight, what do you wish you did or didn't do? How did you create the best application possible?

The course load for my school has so many interesting classes but I’m limited and I just don’t know which one to pick. I have some I’m intereste din but they’re not related to my major, should I still take them. #Classes #college-major

I want to work in business management, specifically in the energy industry. How do I pick the best entry level position after graduation when there are so many things you can do with business management? #after-graduation #entry-level-position

I am an international student who plans to study a bachelor's degree at the United States. I have heard that many other international students have had troubles when facing cultural shock. Therefore, I would like to know how can it be handled effectively. #college #college-advice...

Am an undergraduate student who is a bit worried that I am looking to graduate at my late 20's. Is that going to negatively affect my chances of employment?

I have been thinking about double majoring in computer science and accounting my freshman year of college, but a few colleges I have looked into say they do not allow computer science majors to double major. The college I have chosen will allow it, however, I do not want to put my health at...

I have received rejection letters from a couple of colleges and neither of them said why I was not accepted. I would like to know why I was not chosen, but would they even answer my email? #college #rejection #collegerejection

Do you think its a good idea for someone to wait so many years to return to college?

Whether at work, school, the store, what mindset do you carry and how do you think having that mindset affects your life and the people around you?

I am majoring in Biology (B.S) and want to enter the medical field to be a surgeon. I know biology is a good major for working in the medical field, but are there other majors that would be more beneficial to me for my career plans? Or other more specific majors? #doctor #career #medicine...

I am going to college next year and I haven't done any internships yet. I plan on doing some during the summer after my freshman year. Do companies put emphasis on internships before college? #internships

Technology has always interested me. How people used to live their lives without the benefit of modern-day technology has always fascinated me. There is always a way to create something to improve the quality of life. I want to invent something that will help improve the quality of life for...

In the future, I want to have a career that I love. However, I also want to have a #family, eat #healthy, stay #active, and get enough sleep. Does working as a #pharmacist deter the possibility of balancing work, family, and personal health? #pharmacy #work-life-balance #balance
