Which college/university should I attend to major in computer engineering?

Which college/university should I attend to major in computer engineering?
I have received acceptance letters from all five of the colleges I applied to earlier in the fall. For each of them I have been accepted into their computer engineering program. U of I (Urbana Champaign) University of Wisconsin Madison University of Minnesota Twin Cities Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology Milwaukee School of Engineering I have an unweighted GPA of 3.88 and a composite ACT score of 30. I have a real passion for computers and I know for a fact that I want to major in computer engineering. And if it makes any difference, I currently live in the Chicagoland area. Any thoughts on which school I should pick? p.s. $ may become a bit of an issue in the spring if FAFSA doesn't turn out well, however I would appreciate advice that doesn't completely center around the tuition factor.

Rose-Hulman is the best engineering college in the US which does not have a doctoral degree program. Seriously examine its computer engineering program. I do not have particulars about this program, but there is no reason to speculate that it is not up to Rose-Hulman's very high standards.

If money is an issue, go to Illinois (assuming you are in state). Otherwise, here are some suggestions for gathering the information you need to make a good decision. Have you visited the campuses? If not, I encourage you to do so. Visit overnight if possible so you can experience a dorm, talk to current students, try the food, etc. Are all programs ABET accredited? If, so, then Look at the general education requirements. Look at the coursework required for a computer engineering major. How many courses are required? How much time will you have for electives? Are there any requirements that particularly appeal to you or that you would not want to take? Are there opportunities for undergraduate research, capstone projects, honors degrees, etc.? Consider factors such as class size, campus ambiance, faculty ratings on RateMyProfessor Consider the availability of academic support if you need it. Consider special opportunities such as study abroad, internships, extracurricular activities, themed housing, sports, etc.

Where would be the best place to donate some books

Where would be the best place to donate some books?
I know this is long but God bless is you can find some time to help. I have a ton of books of 4-6th grade reading level that I enjoyed, but no longer read. (I'm a freshman now). It's sad to part with em, but I think it would do more good to donate them. I know I could donate them to the local library or a school, but these places already have tons and tons of books. Also, consider that not that many 4-6 graders go to the library and read for fun anymore. My English teacher was talking about how in other countries many people may share a book and read it at the same time. He once gave a book to a man in Korea and the man cried because no one in his family ever owned a book. People in my town don't need more books really. I want to send them to a place where they don't have many books, maybe outside the United States. A problem is that the people have to be English-speaking for obvious reasons. Another thing is that lack of books is associated with low literacy and these books are up to US 7th grade level. Can you think of a place that will appreciate these books the most? I have about 15 hardcover and paperback chapter books and another 20 short nonfiction books on animals. Also, what would be the cheapest way to mail them? Is there any charity that might help with this? I live near Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

The cost of shipping those books would be in the hundreds. Check with a Local Church especially Mormons or Protestants. They send Missionaries and might be able to carry the books for you.
2 :
Check with the inner-city schools in Milwaukee to see if their children could use them; I know the elementary school near my workplace was thrilled to get donated books in good condition that they could give to the children. A poor urban Milwaukee child may be just as thrilled to get a book they can actually keep as the Korean man to whom your English teacher gave a book

IMMENSE HELP ? : ? (social)?

IMMENSE HELP ? : ? (social)?
In my lifetime I have moved everywhere. I have no home in my heart. When I was 1, i moved to calgary,when i was 9, i moved to Hamilton, Ont, and when i was 11 I moved to Milwaukee Wisconsin. I never really liked it in Wisconsin, so i ran away when I was 18 and joined the armed forces.... There I have gone everywhere like North Carolina and washington DC. I didn't like it in WDC or Wisconsin.... Wen i got out of the army I moved to fredericksburg Texas w/ my girlfriend. I went to school there a while, but, in the end i got tired of all the no name drug dealers around and moping around w/ no one, and the ignorant peeple who didnt understand my veterans status (95% or 100% of people werhe very nice there). I drove up to canada tosee my nephew and my brother, on a straight shot. It was pretty hard getting here. Ive felt abused from people in the army, etc, and felt like I was always left in the dark about everything. im now living in winnipeg now and working a job at a Korean market. Though my grandparents really underappreciate me, for that Ive fixed all of there computer problems, shoveled their snow mowed their lawn every single day & bought them all sorts of dinners/rent, I quit my job for one day while im here b/c im waiting on federal emp, and they get mad at me, (i quit my job at a construction zone b/c i needed to call my circuit courts in tex to make sure my problems were fixed up, and also i was afraid that the jackhammer dust was settling in my lungs wen they didnt provide me a proper mask.), so i quit my job one day & go without a job 12 days, or maybe 8.5, and they freak out on me even tho' im working Temp./looking. They tell everyone, every single person behind my back about it, and always complain about me being here when im not looking... I dont even love my mom and dad, i dont want to go back to milwaukee, it sucks there, and i was thinking about going out on a limb b/c a friend west of Medicine Hat, Ab, in a city of 15K, has offered me to move there to get a job "roofing houses" for 20.00. Which would be decent wages. I dont want to move to saskatoon b/c i would feel imposing on my brother, even though he is "dying for me to come out", in a way. I would feel like I'm mooching off all his friends, and bargaining for his friends like i have a right to them, + hes doing ecstacy while caring for his baby, and partying like that. The main reson why i dont want to move to Sask. is because of his Xtacy using. I cant find a fucking job here besides making $9.00 an hour anyway. i fought for my country in the us, did what was demanded of me, and lost my conscious in the process & seem became a psychopath in the process. I only know the chick who's inviting me to W> of Medicine Hat off the internet. Shes been a longterm buddy, and its just face value, just talking and platonic. Tho' i know shes done drugs like meth and crank in the past, i 'kno that now she is off of them, as she has told me, and is taking care of her 2 kids and is very caring. I know that she gets a good disability and pension b/c of having a heart murmur/defect so she doesnt even have to work, and she keeps the internet, and keeps good care of her kids, But, is that enough to trust her on? Im alienated past all my old friends anyways, to the point where my old friends are fucked up anyways and are like newspaper editorial publishers from calgary who have too little time to talk to me, and the other from calgary hates me after I disclosed to him i was in the army, as he is a Vietnamese supporter and has visitied vietnam, and is like a procommunist and antisoldier person. I feel ike i've lost all my friends anyways and become actually a psychopath, so I feel like why shouldnt I move to medicine hat, where i have atleast a slim posibility at a social life? & If i get a job? I mean right now here, it isnt the economic thing, because I still have a bit (26 months wo), of my MGI bill / army college money that they'll let me use. So i could be doing that over hear. But I DUNNO WHAT I WANT TO DO. Im dropping wisconsin like its ghonhorrea. Dont like it.. LOL. Dont kno as what i should do. What are your thoughts? Id probably be making 1600 $ every 2 weeks doing the roofing.... And Id probably apply for a postal job if I got wore out of that job, physically... Its only like 94 miles away from a great great uncle, 5 cousins and my mothers cousins, and some miscelaneous people...

Ryan One step at a time! First, you need to get the grades up, right?! So get yourself registered at your local Junior College. Next, get a job as a waiter or expediter at a good local restaurant, or a job in a bank.... but time to leave McD's..... but don;t quit till yoiu have the new job.... give proper notice! Then, if possible get a few good J.C. units in at Summer Session. You will get a leg up by knowing the system and procedures there.... IT IS NOT LIKE High School (thank goodness).

Do you think its fair illegals will get in-state tuition isn't this in Violation of FEDERAL LAWS?

Do you think its fair illegals will get in-state tuition isn't this in Violation of FEDERAL LAWS?
Some illegal immigrant high school graduates will be able to attend Wisconsin state universities by paying in-state tuition, under a provision in the two-year budget Gov. Jim Doyle signed into law Monday. Wisconsin now becomes the 11th state to enact such a law. To qualify, students would have to reside in the state for three years, graduate from a Wisconsin high school or earn an equivalency degree here. The students would have to apply through the normal channels. It's estimated from 400 to 650 illegal immigrants annually graduate from state high schools, but they must pay out-of-state tuition if they enroll in the state university system or technical colleges. In-state tuition at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee is $7,576 a year in the 2008-'09 school year, compared with out-of-state tuition, which is $17,306. State Rep. Pedro ColÃ³n (D-Milwaukee) first introduced the in-state college tuition measure in 1999, when he was new to the Assembly. "I really think this gets us back on course with our brightest having more access to education," he said. "It's not a huge scholarship program, but an important step for more access to higher education than we had yesterday." Immigrant advocates who have pushed for the measure attended the signing in Madison. Christine Neumann-Ortiz, director of Voces de la Frontera, an immigrant and worker rights organization, called it "a historic step forward in recognizing the civil rights of immigrants in the area of education." Opponents such as state Sen. Glenn Grothman (R-West Band) criticized the provision. http://www.jsonline.com/news/wisconsin/49470657.html

As someone who works at a film college (Tribeca Flashpoint Media Arts Academy in Chicago), I can give you a little advice in this area. First of all, you should maximize your time as much as possible. The longer you're in school, there becomes a better chance that the technology you learned in your first two years will no longer be used in the industry after you graduate. You want to pick a program that will teach you the latest stuff as quickly as possible, so that when you leave you'll be able to enter job interviews with a firm grasp of everything their production and editing team uses. You also need to read up on the faculty. If the faculty is not staying current on the latest technologies by staying active outside of the classroom, you're cheating yourself. It's a hard truth of college programs that many professors begin to teach because they no longer want to learn. Make sure the people you're learning from still have an appetite for educating themselves, and you'll get a much higher quality education because of it. Finally, make sure the program you choose has a collaborative curriculum. Film making is a collaborative process in the real world, and you can't learn to do it on your own. You need to work with colleagues in your major, but you also need to work with the people who will be editing the sound, doing the lighting, directing the picture -- the whole success of the project is dependent on the crew's ability to work as a team with everyone involved. So if you're not sold on UW Milwaukee (which I should point out is a fine school, although I don't know much about their film program), I'd look into the other schools your considering and ask the questions above. I also think you should look into our film program. You won't be disappointed. If you have any questions or want to know more, I run Tribeca Flashpoint's Facebook page. Ask me a question, post a comment, or strike up a conversation with our students. I hope to hear from you! Good luck until then! - Kristin Hertko

With that horrible grammar, and horrible GPA. You won't get into ANY law school or any college.
2 :
There are still states that will permit you to practice law if you simply submit a brief before the bar and if they accept it you will receive a license to set up your very own private practice. Some do not even require graduate school. Not all law schools have tough requirements to attend. I believe Montana is one of the easiest to be accepted, all you need is a High School Diploma. Good luck, I hope you have a thriving practice and do a lot of Pro Bono work.

Because of your grades, you might have difficulty being accepted outright to a four-year university. The community college --> four-year university for your bachelor's degree route might be the best option. In addition, you'd get quite a cost savings out of choosing community college for your first two years. To get into law school, you need a bachelor's degree in any subject from an accredited institution. You also need an LSAT score. The LSAT (law school admission test) is like the SAT or ACT, except for law school. The LSAT tests logical reasoning, reading comprehension, as well as your ability to solve logic puzzles - all skills considered useful in law school. When you apply to law school, you do not submit your high school transcripts. Take comfort in that - once you go to college, your high school grades won't really matter anymore. Instead you send in your college transcripts. You also submit letters of recommendation (usually two to three) and a personal statement. Law school admissions are mostly based on your undergraduate GPA and your LSAT score, so you want to keep your grades up as high as you can in college and study for the LSAT. Most people who do well on the LSAT dedicate at least three months to preparing by taking lots of practice tests and reading prep books. If you want to practice law in Wisconsin, you should go to the University of Wisconsin Law. It's just the best law school in the state. I *believe* that Wisconsin has a law saying that anyone who graduates law school in Wisconsin automatically passes the bar, whereas in other states, a person needs to take a bar exam to become licensed. There are pros and cons to being a lawyer and a paralegal. Lawyers usually make more. There's also less paperwork/gruntwork and more prestige. On the other hand, paralegals don't have to go deep in debt for law school. They make less, but they don't need to make as much to pay back their student loans. Paralegals get to do some attorney-level work depending on the firm, but it's not going to be as challenging. Maybe that's what you want, though. Fortunately, you have many years to think about exactly what you want to do. Good luck

I'm wondering how much I should charge for a days work as a photographer shooting commerically? I normally do portraits so i'm not 100% how much this area of work charges. I'm in south east wisconsin/Milwaukee. I got ask how much i would charge by someone who had seen my work at school, so any ideas? Thanks My focus in school was Commerical Photography, I just hadn't found work and its SO easy to do portraits. (so many people wanting good pictures!) I also do weddings. But now that I finally found some commerical work, and my profolio being commerical, I don't know how to charge.
