How exactly are scholarship monies put towards tuition and can they be limited to certain careers even it is a major or minor?
I wanted to understand that once scholarship monies are granted, the discretion of spending is now at the students disposal. However a fellow classmate was unable to scholarship money towards their major in business. How can I avoid the same problem. #major #scholarship
Is it possible to major in languages in which more than one language is mastered at once?
I am currently interested in majoring in languages, however through research found that most majors are limited to specifics. For example I pick up dialect, word choice, and accent quickly and have put it in practice; more than volunteer requirements but as a career. I can't seem to find a...
Is it important to know multiple languages in your job?

Will there be opening jobs in computer science with only having a bachelor’s degree?
My family is pressed about the money for college and I think it would be best to find a job that would only require a bachelor’s degree. Would it make sense for someone who wants a tech job to go for masters? I know it would help but if i had good grades at a 4 year public state university...

If you're trying to make a field switch (say math to engineering) what advice do you have for a smooth transition?
A little bit about me: I am a rising undergraduate senior majoring in math but I am interested in pursuing industrial engineering. I've been looking into pursuing graduate school simply because it seems like the only option, being that I have no formal knowledge of engineering. Are there any...

Medicine is a tough field to study in so what motivated you to continue studying it even through hard times?
I've always known that studying medicine wasn't easy. Personally knowing people who have stepped off the pre-med track has made me wonder what exactly has encouraged those who are now doctors to continue. Getting answers from those who have experienced this first hand is something that will...
