Higher Education (University +) - October 2007

I am thinking about applying to Villanova and I was worried that since the majority of students are white and Catholic that they might not be very accepting.

Which college do you think is better: Univeristy of Utah or Utah State Univeristy.
I am debating between of these two for a double major in Computer Science and Computer Engeneering. (which is likely to change but that's where I am right now). Utah State is known for its Engeneering program- so that is a big plus. But they both have their pluses and minuses.

The local school I'm looking at is regionally accredited(North Central Association for Colleges and Schools), but there masters programs(such as MBA and MLS), haven't received accreditation yet, but are trying to get it. Does it really matter that much if these programs haven't received specific accreditations, but still come from a regionally accredited school?

I am currently a senior in high school and next year I plan on attending a 4-year University. I have been extremely irritated lately because my parents keep nagging me about why I'm staying up late studying and doing all these extra curricular activities. They do not understand what it takes to become accepted into a University. They are just completely blind about this whole process. They refuse to be active in my school life and to talk to someone who could explain why i'm doing what I'm doing. It is just so frustrating when my parents aren't giving me encouragement when I need it the most. Someone please help!

For as long as i can remember ive wanted to be a lawyer. Thats basically the direction ive been going in for most of my life. But im realizing now that its just not what i want to do. Im 16 years old in gr.11, and i feel like the clock is ticking and i have to pick what i want to do right now. Im thinking about gettign an MBA but im not sure. I hate mathematics and sciences, but im excellent with literature and languages. Before i wanted to be a lawyer i wanted to be a journalist, but my parents said im not goign to make any money. The guidance counselor as school is a heartless nazi who couldnt care less about our future, so basically i have no one to talk to about the most important decision of my life. I want to make a lot of money and live comfortably, tuition money is no issue. Any ideas about what i should pursue in university?

Well I am a very poor college student just trying to survive. I am going to have to live in my car because I can't keep up with rent, utilities, heating, lot rent, books, lab fees, and tuition. I keep getting overdraft and late fees on bills and I am being eaten alive! I could easily pay all my bills if I just had a regular job instead of paying $10,000 a semester for college. So are all these fees and payments really worth it to get through college? I'm starting to wonder because so far all of my friends have dropped out. Your opinion would be appreciated.

I am interested in going to graduate school. I have a 3.5 GPA, and am in two academic honor societies. I'm a junior in college, and already know which schools I will apply to. I am worried that my GRE scores won't be up to snuff. The schools that I am interested in are not big name schools or anything, but they are well known and reputable. If I earn a score of 1000 or better will this help me gain admittance?

I'm a Senior, started school at the end of August. I was told that most schools want you to apply this month. Thing is I'm not really ready. On my ACT I scored a 22 in most part do to Math. I'm horrible at it(usually Cs and Ds) and its affected my GPA too. My average GPA over the years is like 2.9 something. Anyway I'm not really ready to apply b/c I plan on taking my ACT again. Should I just start applying now? How would that work if I score higher on my ACT and I've already applied?
Additional info: I live in Illinois, suburb outside of Chicago. Don't plan on going to far from home. Thanks

I'm having a little trouble starting my college essay. I was thinking I could start off saying how I used to be very shy and then explain how a life-changing event has made me more outgoing and has taught me the value of communication. Do you think this is a bad idea because I am highlighting my flaws or is it good because it has shown how I have changed?

I just finished high school in Saudi Arabia and I don't know what to study in university (as a bachelor). I got into the top university in Saudi Arabia (KFUPM) it's really tough and hard ... fortunately they give us this prep. Year which they make u study math, physics, English (because all the majors in KFUPM are in English) .and some other subjects. So I have one year to think about what I want to major in. but I have to make my mind now because I got this scholarship to the us and I have to tell them what do I want to major in . When I look for a major I consider 3 things
1.if like it
2. if am going 2 shine in it
3. if its well paid(highly paid)
so I don't really know what 2 choose
I like
>architecture
>interior design
> marketing
> accounting
(I know that the majors I like have nothing in common )
I don't really know about the average salary of each major. So if any one can help me and tell me about the advantages and disadvantages of each major.

I just received my bachelor's degree in accounting but I know basically nothing about the subject? Reason why it took me so long to graduate is I changed my major about 8 times, took 2 year educational leave & was constantly dropping & retaking classes. My major GPA is 2.1. In few of my senior major classes, I know I got F's but my professors gave me C's. Why is that? Why do I have a bachelor's degree when I don't deserve to have one & have basically no knowledge about the subject?
