Question:
College help!?
I'm having trouble deciding which college to go to. I got accepted into the University of Texas at Austin and Middlebury.
Middlebury usually costs $50K/year, but I would only have to pay $12K.
UT would cost me $10/year.
I don't exactly know what I want to do when I grow older. I haven't had any formal journalism classes, but I feel that I might want to become a newspaper writer. I'm also into advertisement.
Middlebury doesn't have an journalism or business department.
I plan to go to graduate school, and I don't want to work as hard as I am now (I know I will have to work hard to maintain my GPA, but not more arduously than I have to).
Where should I go?! =-O
Thank you! =]

Middlebury can give you a very good education with a great deal of personal attention that you wouldn't get at a huge outfit like UT.
Both schools are excellent. Don't worry about the journalism or business division, because you want an education, not job training, and with a good solid liberal-arts education you'll be able to learn the other stuff without much trouble.
At either school, take math, history, sciences, languages, law, philosophy, and the fine arts, and when you're done you'll find that you've become an educated person: one who can take life as it comes, adapt to new situations, and not be fooled by every charlatan who comes down the road.
Hint: most journalists didn't take journalism. I write for the local paper myself, and the journalism part of it is all stuff you can learn in less than a year on the job. And a lot of swell businessmen didn't take business, either.
Get your education at college, and job training in your job.

If you go to or are an alum of any of these schools, I'm looking at them and would be interested in hearing what you have to say about them, what you like, dislike, etc.
Also if you got in within the last 3 years or so, any insights on the application process and what you showed the college that you think made them want to accept you...
Thank you so much college stuff is looming...

I'm not a current student or an alum, but Middlebury has got fantastic foreign language programs. I'm thinking of taking a MA there.
These are all top notch institutions.
If you haven't already, look at each college's website for the programs you're interested. Look at things like how long that major has existed there, how many students are in the program vs. how many faculty teach that program. If they have famous alums, they'll be listed; search the web to see what good or bad they've said about the college.
Schedule a campus visit if you can. The college where I work has several weekends a year when prospective student can stay on campus. That’s a really good way to get a feel for the campus community. Check out the extra-curriculars and the campus amenities. Of course, where I work, we have a private beach – features like that sometimes win the day when someone can’t decide between otherwise equal schools.
If they all seem to be about equal in terms of the educational quality for the major you want, then apply to them all and see what they offer you to go there in terms of scholarships. Then if you get more than one good deal, it’s a coin flip.
Best of luck!
