The reason I don’t want to attend a military academy is because I’d still like the “traditional” college experience, and I’m not completely set on becoming an officer yet, just something I’m strongly considering.
I’m also not completely set on engineering, I’ve considered multiple other stem majors such as Applied Physics and Biophysics, so a STEM dominant college would allow me to explore many courses and programs before I declare my major.
Cost doesn’t have to be a full ride or tuition or anything, I’m just looking for ideas right now… top 50 colleges are what I’m really asking for. the only reason I mentioned not suggesting UC colleges is because I know they are notoriously expensive for OOS.
