Preferably something science or computer related.

Answer 1

Since your still in High School. I wouldn't focus on where right now. Focus more on getting and keeping your grades as high as possible, that way when the time comes to choose where to continue your schooling you will have more options, and more scholarship opportunities.

Answer 2

Aside from personal choice and goals, major factors in your choice should include financiqal ability, family support, educational goals. For many with average grades and limited funds the local two year college leading to the nearest public university offers a valid choice. A four year degree from any legitamate institution will open many doors in your life where you can than apply your abilities. At the high end of the ladder would be a student with financial backing from family or scholarship, grant, loan soursec and a goal- science at MIT, law at Harvard. Also a large part of the decision might be the desire to either be near family- or to get far away! Speak with guidance counselors, e-mail people in your desired study filed for advice, seek online information and factor in your own needs and desires. Good luck and GET THAT DEGREE!

Answer 3

Cheapest is to go wherever your state school is in your home town or nearby. You always have the option of living off-campus -though you might meet more people and have a better experience living in a dorm. Also can be much more affordable, but no always. If you move out of state you will not have the benefits of being a resident and therefore could be more expensive. Hopefully this is helpful.

Answer 4

I mean, you need to say where you are in the country and stuff. I am personally going to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill for computer science, and it's working out pretty well. If you're in state, then it's great and cheap. If you're out, it's really tough to get into and pretty pricey.

Try looking at in-state schools and some out of state schools you are interested, and try and look at some with your projected grades. If you are an a-b student, look at some pretty good ones. If you're a c student, look in-state and at some decent schools. It really all depends on you.

I must say, though, you should try living on campus if you aren't going to, say, stay at home to save money. It's such a good experience, even if you think it'll be crappy, it's really a lot of fun.
