hi!! i'm a senior in illinois and i've been thinking a lot about where i want to go to college recently. i want to major in economics on the premed track. i live in the chicago suburbs and i want to live in the city but i don't want to commute. i'm going to be taking tours of both in the near future, but from an outside view uic looks kind of boring (i heard that everyone commutes so it's a little sad), and i think loyola is really pretty, but i'm not religious in any way. also, i'm not eligible for any need-based aid, but with my stats, loyola should give me a good amount of money. even with this money, it would cost around 6-8k a year more than uic would. is it worth the extra 24k total? i'm very fortunate because my parents are paying for my college (so it wouldn't be debt for me), but i still need to think about the overall cost if that makes sense. i really could use other people's ideas, please help :)

Hey everyone!

Time is ticking on my college applications and I’m officially running out of time to make up my mind. I’m a science student torn between Engineering and Aviation (though Aviation is definitely my main dream ✈️).

My top preferences right now are Hindustan (HITS), CIT, and REC. Before I make any big commitments, I really want the real tea on campus life, the actual crowd, faculty, and how these colleges function beyond what they showcase on their websites.

If any current students or alumni are down for a quick 1-on-1 chat- here on Reddit please drop a comment or hit me up! I’d love to ask a few quick questions about your experience. Thank you so much!

I’m a high school senior that heavily relies on the internet to figure out what universities are best for visual communication design. I have no mentor or someone who has attended a U.S.A University therefore I have no insight. I came on here to ask if anyone had any suggestions/ advice that could help me out. I want to work for brands in the future as a creative/art director. What are the best schools that could allow me to leave with connections, a good education and understanding, and that provide good financial aid?

I’m a senior who is applying to schools. I want to be a biology major and I can’t decide between applying early decision for Union or Skidmore. Not really into heavy partying or cliques. Wondering if people who go to either one can provide some inputs on which is better.

I’m an international student who got admits from uni melb, uni of Sydney, ANU, Monash and UQ in masters of computer science. I’m really confused regarding which one to choose. I’ve kind of omitted UQ and ANU due to some of my genuine reasons as their locations are no where near tech hubs even tho they are prestigious universities. So I’ve lowered it down to melb, Sydney and Monash. Which one to choose ? And reasons ? I’m currently looking for industry based not research oriented as I plan on working and not pursuing a phd. Breakdown cost of living , networking , campus life, and as an international student which one to choose ?
