Schools that offer these programs...

I've finally figured out my interests and I'm running out of time to decide what schools I want to go to. These are the departments I'd be interested in:

-Physics
-Mech Engineering
-Design
-Environmental Studies

I have not found any good schools that offer all of these. I really want to pursue something with physics but I really enjoy design. I just want to make sure I have some education that will allow me to get a job after graduation.

Any tips?

Also, I would like to go to a fairly good school, anything in the University of Florida range and higher.

Why are you "running out of time" at this point? Are you a rising senior in high school?

If you're instate for UFlorida, do you qualify for Bright Futures? If so, which level?

What is your budget? How much will your family pay each year? If you get Bright Futures, does that mean that your parents will only pay the amount that they would have to pay at UF minus BF funding???

What are your test scores and GPA?

When you say that you're interested in "design", what do you mean? engineering design? art design? What??

I live in Florida.

Relying on financial aid and scholarships. (Only one parent employed, $30K)

GPA is 3.8/4.6

SAT is 2100, ACT is 30

By design I mean like communication design

See, I never want to stop learning, so I want a career and life where I can always discover something I never knew before. I was always interested in alternative energies, I love designing things and reading design blogs, and I simply love to be innovative and inventive. I don't know what to do.
