My ideal university scenario...

Before people start slating me, I’m just putting down my ideal university scenario, understanding that large bits of it are probably unrealistic. I’d just like some help separating the fantasy from reality.

First off, I’m an international student with access to a scholarship so hopefully money will not be a problem. I’ll be taking my GCE A Levels soon and I’m a fairly bright student. At the moment, I’m still a little shady with the whole ‘pre requisites’ thing you guys have got going on and don’t know how my A Levels will affect that.

I want to go to a fairly reputable U.S uni and major in both Political Science and Civil Engineering. From what I’ve seen so far, both courses don’t really overlap from what I’ve seen. I realise that I may have to spend 5 years in uni as opposed to 4 and I’m happy with that.

I would also, during my time in uni, experiment with my electives and perhaps take courses in English Literature, Media and film making amongst others. I also want some spare time to myself to be able to enjoy and appreciate university life, not just work the whole time - though I do realise hard work is a necessity.

How much of this is possible? Any help is appreciated.
