Other than if a college has your desired major, what should be a big deciding factor?
I'm overwhelmed with all the possible colleges I could go to and I'm not sure what's the most important factor to look at. Obviously it's necessary that the college has your desired major, but is there anything else that's very important that soon-to-be freshman aren't aware of yet? #college...
Would zoology or animal sciences be better If i'm interested with working hands-on with animals?
I want to work with animals after college in maybe an animal sanctuary or wildlife reserve and i don't know if I should take the route of zoology or animal sciences. I'm aware that animal sciences is more focused on farm animals but I'd like to work with more wild animals. #zoology #animalsciences

Who do I ask for letters of recommendation?
I'm a little confused on what I need to do in order to get letters of recommendation. How should I go about asking someone if they are willing to write a letter for me? Also, should I pick teachers from main subjects like math or English or can I ask my art and drama teachers? #art #writing
What are colleges and employers looking for in art portfolios?

Was there one course that you wish you would have taken in college and didn't? #Financial Engineering

Is my major too specific to get a good job in the future?
I am going into wildlife and conservation biology at URI and I am worried that there wont be that many jobs available to me once I get my degree. I know that there are always jobs for environmentalist majors in general - but maybe my major just isnt practical. #struggle #environmental-science
