(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Seeing lots of college threads here, so where do you guys go? What are you majoring in? What do you want to pursue after college? Why did you pick that school?

If you're still in HS, where do you want to go?

I went to Georgetown University for my undergraduate degree in Economics. I went there because it has great academics in a great location. It also has good name recognition with an endless amount of opportunities. (and because I got rejected by Stanford, Harvard, and Columbia... lol)

In America you go to 4 years of undergraduate school with a major of your choice. Then you have to take a test pertaining to your perspective graduate field and apply to graduate programs in order to become a lawyer, doctor, etc.

I went to Georgetown's Law School after I got my undergraduate degree there.

Ah I see, you can do Law and Medicine as undergraduate here. That's a bit ridiculous in the US in my opinion since the fees are a hell of a lot more and you need to go for longer to obtain a Law degree etc. Fee's are like $30000+ over there I've heard so that's 4 years plus however long the post grad is over there so you'll be hundreds of thousands in debt by the time you get out where you've a pretty much clean slate here besides if you've borrowed for living expenses since the Government pay tuition fees.

Currently at a Community College and am planning to transfer to University of California Irvine

ha...yeah...tell me about it.

Luckily I came from an upper middle class family that could put something towards my undergraduate schooling. For undergrad expect $60,000 /yr for 4 years. I got 0 financial aid and after my parent's contribution I was roughly $150,000 deep in loans. For law school, I got a full scholarship to Georgetown. I turned down Yale, Harvard, and NYU because they did not give me financial help, so I went to a slightly less ranked school to save money and only have to pay living expenses. Graduating 3rd in my class offset any kind of lost prestige from going to those schools; I had multiple lucrative job-offers upon graduation.

It takes 7 years in total to get a law degree (assuming you graduate on time). It was all worth it and I've easily paid the loans off. Loans are fine as long as you don't major in something stupid like history or psychology.

Currently enrolled in my last year at Linn State Technical College in Missouri. I'm going there to get my Associates of Applied Science Degree in Computer Programming - Web Design. Next fall I plan on transferring to University of Missouri - Columbia (Mizzou) to get a Bachelors in Computer Science.

My goal as of now is to eventually get a job with Google. The benefits are amazing and from what I've heard it's a great and fun company to work for.
