Ditto what Brian said.

A few pointers on things from my experience.

- Depending on discipline, look into a double major if there isn't many credits differentiating them. Even a minor. Minors seem to make zero difference in getting a job however.
- If a prof isn't compatible with you, seek assistance. Hated having Engrish speaking professors. Some courses are hard enough to understand the material without having to figure out the words/ sounds coming out of the professor's mouth. This was a big thing in my ears.
- To me, hands on was a big help
- I never really needed to study much in HS, but had to make adjustments in college.
- See which schools works with potential companies/ jobs of interest.
- No foul in going to a county school for gen eds then transferring.
- 5 yrs plan isn't recommended. I didn't do it, but feel you'd be burnt out & have extra debit to pay.

I took some post grad course at Rutgers, but did my degree at U of Alabama. Clemson was my first choice due to their Automotive Engineering program. Applied late & UofA said come on down. Clemson said go to county & apply next year. Always wondered what would have become if I did the later.
