Would it be bad to get a bachelor's degree at a state college instead of a university?

I live about 20 minutes away from a state college that offers a bachelor's degree in Biology. That is what I plan to major in regardless of what school I to attend. I would rather go to a state college because I can live at home and I will save about 40,000 dollars, if I attend the state...

With a sociology degree, can you become a social worker?

The college I applied to did not have social work for bachelor's degree and so I decided to take sociology. However, many people are saying it does not connect to social work. Is that true? #career #science #degree #social-work #work #sociology

For a college graduate: If you could go back to your freshman year of college, what is one thing you wish you would have known, and one thing that you would do differently?

I know that now, as a senior in high school, there are a few things that I wish I could go back and tell my younger self... such as "don't worry about what other people think of you," "be more outgoing," and "apply for more scholarships your junior summer." In the same way, I am sure that...

Hi! My name is Anina and I'm a high school senior interning at CareerVillage. I have a fellow classmate who wants to become a social worker. I've heard that it's a "thankless" job. Why would they want to do it? What makes the job worth it? #social-work

I always see both but no one has ever said the differences to me. Is one of them more focused on the science aspect? #college #student #degree #majors

They seem to deal with similar subject matter, so I'm wondering if that also means that occupations in the two fields also overlap, and if so, how much? #psychology #jobs #careers #sociology

I will be entering college this spring, and like many people I am currently undecided as to what I want to major in. I know that this is not unusual, but what I do not know is at what point it is best to make the decision. At what times did others choose their majors? How did it work out?...
