what the shit is science man.
you cant get broader than that.

is social science a science?
some say YESD!
others say no

depends on the field. You could consider sociology psychology and economics to be sciences, but I wouldn't major in any of them unless I was positive that I was gonna go to grad school because there is not a single career I could think of that requires just a BA in any of those so you'd probably be better off just learning a trade and reading books.

I guess you could become a highschool guidance counselor with an undergraduates in psychology with some education classes, but that would probably be one of the most depressing jobs ever.

I think they're precious. My favorite class ever is "BUSINESS CALCULUS" which should be called "Let me tell you about a little program called Excel"

do you know what they teach you at business management? They teach you COMMON SENSE. That's all there is to it.

I hate them. All the pretentious, narcissist assholes choose BM.

I thought you lived in the UK. Where do you live?

haha what. no man i live in cleveland (ohio). it's why i'm trying to go to osu; it's easily the best public school in the state and it's pretty cheap all things considered (not much more than any of the other public schools like ksu or csu, even though it's a much better school), and i'm pretty sure i can get in with a 4.0 from the shitty community college i go to. i guess i could try to get into a private school, especially since that means i could leave the state, but that shit's so expensive and probably much harder to get into so whatever. i might apply to like usc!!!! or some shit even though i'm reasonably sure they'd never accept me, because my brother said private schools give a lot of money sometimes, and on the off chance that they would accept me and give me enough money that i could afford like $40,000 a year i think it's worth the $100 or so to apply since i'd love to get the fuck out of ohio and socal sounds pretty nice/warm

that turned into a p long tangent, but yeah, cleveland

I am certain you can transfer to OSU with a 4.0 at a community college (btw do you happen to go to Tri-C? a girl in my anthro class went there and a guy in my farsi class went there and they both refer to it as 'the shitty community college I went to' lol) But yeah, as far as applying to USC is concerned.. just move to California and then establish resendency. Its a California state school, tuition would be free for you if you were a resident of Cali. Boom!

yeah, i do. there are like three campuses, though, so they might not have gone to mine (eastern). i'm just waiting to get 33 credit hours so they'll ignore my laughable high school record (read: no sat/act scores and like a 0.2 gpa). it's good that you're so sure i can get into it, though. i pretty much have all my eggs in one basket at this point.

also what do you mean by free tuition? is that shit free in california? ALSO also usc is a private school and i was under the impression that residency didn't have any impact on tuition costs for private schools? also also also establishing residency takes a year and i am getting too old to take a year off (seriously i'm gonna be 24 soon after the fall 09 term starts and i'm already enough of a loser for that so 25 would be even worse) and i don't know what i'd do in california for a year anyway but i'm pretty sure whatever it'd be, it would suck a lot.

oh I thought USC was a state school, maybe I am thinking of UCLA heh.

but yeah the people I know from Tri-C did not get good grades there. Though since it is OSU they cant turn you away because they are the Ohio STATE university. they have to admit you. And I'm pretty sure they treat transfer students the same way as branch campus students. If you have enough credit hours and above a 3.5 or whatever you're in no questions asked! I did post secondary at the marion branch last year so I met a lot of students that are pretty much in the same boat as you heh

but yeah cali does have free tuition for instate students at the state universities (of which there are many) thats just tuition though, you gotta pay for room and board and shit
