Help finding a good college?

Question

ok...i am 14 years old but i think i need to think about which colleges to go to..i want to become a photographer and work for a magazine..my goal is to work for national geographic but i know that i need a back up..so maybe some other magazine. I need a good college...not a community one even though i will probably start out there for a year and then move on to a university. Does anyone have any good ideas for a school? they can be anywhere in the Unites States or even England...i just need a good school that will be able to offer me a scholorship and be able to give me a good education and help me aspire to be a photographer. thnx for the help :)

Answer 1

University of Kansas has a wonderful journalism/communications program but other than that i don't know,

you should check out princetonreview.com they have a whole list of colleges for specific degrees and careers  

Answer 2

well... you're only 14 years old... which means you're probably a freshman or a 8th grader. don't worry about these things! chill out and wait till junior year to actually focus on it.  

Answer 3

You're only 14, I wouldn't worry about it yet.  Make sure you get good grades throughout high school.  Make sure you have a strong Junior year and a strong 1st semester Senior year.  Be active in your community and extracurricular activities.  It shows that you can handle more than just school at once.  Chances are however that you'll want to change your major once you get to college if not before.  It may seem like you know exactly what you want to do but be open minded and don't get a degree in something because thats what you wanted at 14.  And finally I graduated from Michigan State and I loved it.

Answer 4

Check out petersons.com and collegeboard.com.  Both have search engines and you can find the perfect school to suit your needs!

Also, my cousin wants to do the exact thing you want to; a photographer for National Geographic.  She's currently studying at Brooks Institute in California.
