Colleges

[April_Infinite]

I'm the age where I need to be searching for a good place to live life up.

My first choice is Michigan, but with my 3.0 gpa, that probably won't happen. I would prefer to go somewhere in Texas, Cali, or Michigan, but whereever is fine for me as long as I enjoy it. What do you think of Michigan as a school, and also, what colleges would you recommend to me?

Depends on what it is you want to go to school for. The University of Michigan has one of the best law schools in the country if you're looking at law.

If you're looking at a smaller area and better college...Dartmouth is tops. I used to live right near there and the job market is incredibly strong, and despite the small area it still has a lot of the same cultural offerings you'd find in a city.

And they also have the coolest football team ever

I like sports and all...but I don't follow sports since I broke my sofa during an NBA playoff game. I felt I was getting a bit destructively obsessed...so I stopped watching.

Poor sofa.

I'm going to study psychology if that helps.

If you're going to be a psych major, I suggest junior college first. It's a giant rip-off to pay 20 grand a year for a degree that won't get you a job. Psychology is one of the nearly worthless liberal arts degrees. All it lets you do is apply to grad school and rack up more debt.

What if he wants to be a psychologist?

Then he'll need at least a master's and more likely a doctorate. Down the road in grad school, when he is looking at a six-figure student loan bill, 40 grand for the first two years seems not nearly as good of a deal as the 4-6 grand that jc would charge for the same credits. jc is also easier, which helps to keep up the gpa so that he can get into grad school later. Too many people charge up a giant student loan bill to get a degree that gets them nowhere in life.

Wait Bible Belt, so since I want to be a psycologist, I should go to junior college first, since it's easier, cheaper, and I get the same credits?
