I am starting the spring semester at my local college, and i am scared i will drop out like i did in fall semester. Unfortunally i had to pick my job over college in fall, but this time i can't drop out or i will never get finacial aid. I have attended all of the re-entry classes. I have changed my job around so that i can go to school and work. I keep telling myself i will do good, and won't drop out for nothing, unless its a life emergency. I guess i have the college gitters. Any suggestions on how to get past worrying about not doing well at college?

Hi guys! I'm a senior in high school and I'm having so much trouble deciding which college I should go to. I want to become a nurse or a doctor in the future so I have several questions about these two colleges - SFSU and UCD

1) SFSU has a nursing program and I was wondering if, after 4 years of nursing, can an SFSU nursing student already become an R.N. and begin work? Is it possible to finish the nursing program in 4 years?

2) How are the social scenes at UCD and at SFSU?

3) What is the difference in cost? NOTE: I live in the Bay Area so if I go to SFSU, i wouldn't be dorming, whereas if I go to UCD, i would be dorming. My parents want me to stay here and go to SFSU because it's cheaper (is it a lot cheaper?) than UCD, but I just have this gut feeling that UCD would open a whole lot more doors for me....but then again, SFSU has a nursing program.

4) What school would be best for me (considering price, majors, career path opportunities)?

or you can tell me that i'm wrong...but i'm pretty sure i heard about this being true.

I usually take about 1 and a half to two hours to read 30 pages while highlighting at the same time. Is that too slow? Any suggestions to speed up my reading while fully or almost fully understanding the material?

Right now i have a 4.145 weighted gpa, and throughout high school i have had a 4.0.
I've taken pretty advanced courses such as my current enrollment into AP European History and freshman courses such as Accelerated Biology.
I'm very determined and studious and i excel in athletics as well. I'm top ten ranked in northern california for the Girl's 16 age group and I'm currently 15 and compete on a national level as well.
I have won state and league for my varsity team as well and I am presidents of many clubs.
I took the PSAT recently and scored a 1800/2400 (86th percentile) as a sophomore but im looking to improving that score to qualify for the national merit scholarship next year.
My lifelong goal has been to go to an Ivy League but i don't know what to do to get in?
and how do i go about getting into other schools such as UC BERKELEY?
thanks!

So I've been accepted to NYU, Chapman, and USC. I guess the big debate then is, east coast film vs. west. I've heard great things about all the schools, and alot of negatives. NYU esspecially seems to be great for indie film making, which is really what I'm interested in... where as USC seems to just shoot you out into the studio system. So thats great and all, but I'll still need to make money, obviously. Will a school like NYU, so far away from Hollywood and the studio system prepare me to make the right connections in Hollywood? I'd hate to spend 4 years there and a rediculous amount of money, and have nothing to show for it.

I am taking 17 hours now, and I am a little bored. I feel like I should be working harder. But I am taking classes during the summer, and they seem like they would be more intense/time consuming since the semester is shorter. So, how many hours do you think I should take? I want to relax a little during the summer, but at the same time I need to balance that with my free time (for me, boredom and/or lack of a challenge leads to depression, which leads to very bad things). Does anybody have any suggestions?

I learn visually, so tutorials through video's and/or college courses are the best for me...I really want to understand programming to build dynamic web site apps but I am really cautious since many tutorials start off above my head and I become discouraged (since I don't get it). I know I have to start at an entry level, I just can’t seem to find that entrance. I am picking RoR since I have read many state how efficient it is, meaning fast implementation without 1000’s of lines of coding. Thank you... :)

I am 31 and a single mother of three and I am seriously thinking about going back to college. I have always had a deep desire to be a writer so I want something geared toward that but of course something I can use on a job. What major could that be? Is there a demand for creative professions? Something that would also be useful toward creative writing though. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Just curious. My hope is to get break into the top ten lawschools in the nation, but i'm afraid that the name of my school is nearly as prestigious as Ivy League. Right now, i'm in community college and knockin' out core credits. I'm attending CC because of money reasons and to sharpen my study skills, and there is no risk involved if i fail. So far, i'm getting a 4.0 in the Honors program that my CC offers. I plan on transferring to a 4-year-school, but have not decided if i should i go to a prominent private school, where i'll have to pay back my loans till the day i die, or a state school, where i can receive a scholarship and most importantly, not worry about debt. I plan to study abroad for a semester. With that said, i'm more lenient to the cheaper option of state school. I'm wondering if the lack of prestige will hurt my chances of top 10 law schools, eveen if i continue to display an immaculate school record.
