I don't know where the heck I am going to college and it's already April 21st. I started out with great schools that I wanted to go to. Then they became impossible because money is a issue. Trust me, my parents make close to nothing. Then it's like ok, just to go in state school. Now I don't the where the hell to go and it's stressing me out. And I am failing calculus.
School #1 is syracuse: has my major, gave me tons of money, basically have to pay 12,000 a year not bad for a 48,000 school. bad side is 8 hours from my house. that's fine only I am such a good daughter that I actually care about leaving my NON ENGLISH SPEAKING parents. Being the good daughter that I am, I like I can't go because i can't leave them because there will be times where I need to be close.
school #2 is Rutgers: which is really good. I visited I really liked it. They DON"T Have my major. like what the heck, it's the largest school in the state with 25,000 undergraduate. And their placement test will put my in algebra which will take me forever to get into calculus that means i can't major in economics until my third year of college. But there's just so much diversity lots of fun asian people which I want because I hate living in white surburbia all my life. asian music, dramas, dance, even bubble tea and stuff. so what if the school is separated my highways and a river and I have to use a bus system to get to classes. I like it. only have to pay 7,000 a year. sweet deal because people actually have heard of rutgers outside of NJ.
school #3: in state, The college of New Jersey 6,000. full of white preppy kids. I can deal with that since they are nice people. but absolutely no diversity. has my major. will be put into precalc so working to calc is better. can double major in economics. it's a really good school. harder to get into than school #2 rutgers but lesser known. Hey what chinese person isn't influenced by prestige. I mean not harvard or yale material but prestige or brand name helps in finding a job after college. pay about 10,000 a year. close to home.
School #4: My parents want me to go here because they keep recuiting me every sunday with phone calls to major in international business. they only accept 25 people into the program. it's in the middle of cow country about 3 hours from my house. literally nothing around except hersey the chocolate factory and dairy products factories. they guarantee internships. by the way, i want to major in international studies and economics NOT international business. Whatever, my parents are like you will be the superior student there instead of an average student elsewhere. BUT not diversity cow country??? gave me tons of money
see ideally, I would be going to school in manhattan but will have to pay 30,000 a year. or second choice American University in washington DC which is great for what i want to major in and the price isn't too bad 20,000 (again, my parents make nothing, too much in loans.) OMG< i need to pick now.
I guess in the long run, going to what college doesn't matter but i really want to make life long friends, have a good time with people that enjoy the same stuff that I do aka japanese music, chinese dramas.
it's like choicing a college is basically making a decision on the rest of my life or at least that's the way my parents look at it.
