<p>My son is starting to think about colleges. Thinks he wants to do International Relations and Econ. He's a remarkably selfless person and not particularly money oriented, more interested in helping people (must have got all of this from his mom :)).</p>
<p>Anyway, I'd like some inputs on studieing the combination and some good schools (preferably on the west coast) from which to do so.</p>
<p>thanks in advance.

<p>You might want to post on the Parents forum. You will get some very good input from parents whose children are studying those areas.
Are you instate for California? I would not look at the UCs if you are not instate. What are your son’s basic statistics? What about financial aid? Will you be looking for any FA?</p>
