Hey guys,
I'm in somewhat of a dilemma. Here's my deal. I'm a 20 year old guy from Louisiana. I'm trying to figure out what I should do academically. I've spent the last couple of years taking classes at a small local college, on and off. Things have been sort of rough, personally, and after Hurricane Katrina everything has been a little crazy in the state, especially with colleges.
After much exploration, I've decided that I would like to become a professor of anthropology or international studies. I read a lot on my own, and I've always been a good student, and although my first couple of college years were turbulent, I want to really pursue my studies seriously.
Now, the most practical option is LSU, which is ranked pretty low academically, but I get in state tuition. My parents are anxious for me to just finish. But I want to build a serious academic foundation and CV, and have an enriching time. Should I just try to make the best of LSU? Or shoot for more? I'm struggling here.
