I hated senior project!!! I found it to be the most pointless busy work of my life for an entire school year. Then again this was back in 2007, so the requirements weren't as strict as they probably are now.

I've had my mind set on Florida State since senior year (now a sophomore in college and getting ready to transfer) and it's really only my possible option (affordable, one of 3 schools in my state that has my major). I have practically told everyone that's where i'm going, family has even bought me FSU gear for christmas and birthdays and i've even picked out my apartment and roommates! But now I have a long list of schools out of state I want to apply to and see, even though they are all way out of my price range.. I still love FSU and it's my dream school but maybe I just want to see what else is out there? Anyone else feel/felt this way?
I'm currently seriously looking at..
-University of South Carolina
-North Carolina State University
-East Carolina University
-University of Central Florida (even though they only have my major as a minor, I was planning to minor in marketing so I guess I can switch?)
-University of Oklahoma
I'm also changing my mind on wanting to cheer in school, something i've been set on since Freshman year of high school :(
I guess this is what stress all my classmates were talking about during senior year of high school.
GIRRLLLLL!! Come visit! Seriously though if you're considering East Carolina PM me and we can have a magical chat of all things purple and gold.
I'm looking into maybe doing a Masters degree once I graduate, but I'm struggling to find an equivalent in the US for what I'm looking at here: do taught Masters exist in America? I'm either being really dense when looking at websites or didn't realise how different post-grad education was!
Also, is it possible to do a second undergrad at American unis? And does funding exist for these?
Thanks in advance! :)
well what is a taught masters? lol teaching? then it would be a masters in education.
you can get as many bachelor degrees as you would like, and you can take out loans to pay for them, but I believe you will not be eligible for any grant type funding (money you do not have to pay back.)
all advanced degrees (masters/PhDs/professional degrees like md, dpt, do, dc, etc) work the same way. you can take loans to cover costs but will have to repay everything. advanced degrees also have to be unsubsidized (collect interest while you are in school) unsubsidized is for bachelor degrees only. some schools will give additional scholarship, but you're basically on your own.

Yes we do, what type of a program/specialty are you looking for?No, I meant a Masters where you attend lectures, seminars etc. and follow a syllabus, as opposed to a research Masters.
Thanks for all the info :)
I would say pick a school that you feel you will enjoy being at- try looking at all aspects - activities the school offers, even the town it's in. Your major is your main focus - but then pick a school that you feel like you will fit in socially also, and enjoy being at when you have down time.
No matter what school you pick, even if you decide on one that wasn't originally your first choice - just make sure you can see yourself there outside of academics :) you don't want to be miserable. Good Luck!

We are going through this right now. Former-cp is looking at schools, and is learning the more we look that she does not want to be in a rural area nor at a small school like she originally thought. That being said though, we also want to make sure there is value to where she is going and are viewing it as an investment toward her future, not just for the experience she could have the 4 years she is there. It is not easy, but I know she (and we) will find it.@SmileCat Just consider how the extra student loans will affect your future. I work on the daily with people who are struggling to make ends meet because they wanted the "experience" and paid way too much for college. If an in-state school has your major, is less expensive and offers you a great education, I'd go with it.

My uncle from Norway moved the family to Wisconsin for a few years while he earned his advanced degrees.
