I just started my college search and I have no idea where to start. Any suggestions?
I’m a rising senior in California btw
Any thoughts on possible majors? Geographic preferences? Are you going to need some financial aid or be full pay? Can you parents afford tuition? Any preferences as to school size - small, medium, large - or location - rural, urban, suburban? Any info you can provide would help folks help you.
I haven’t really decided on a major, but business/economics is an option I have been considering. I will be getting financial aid and my parents are willing to pay about 20,000. Geographic preferences don’t really matter much to me, but if I had to choose I would prefer a medium size urban or suburban.

How do you know whether you’ll qualify for financial aid?
Have you had your parents run the NPCs on various schools’ websites?
Check out Cal Poly SLO, cheap tuition for in staters but apparently they try to make up for that when your there by charging you for stuff. Great school for engineering, architecture, ok for business, sciences, not so good for liberal arts.
Also check out the UCs what’s your UC gpa?
For Berkeley- average 4.3
UCLA- 4.2
San Diego-4.1
SB- 4
Davis- 4
Irvine- 4
Santa Cruz- 3.8
Riverside- 3.6
Merced- 3.4
