Hey guys. I was going to make a separate thread for this but I felt like enough people were involved in this one. I’m a junior in high school and took a tour of the school last week, which I really enjoyed. I have a few questions, though. I’m interested in the School of Comm for PR, and radio if I can fit it in as a second major. I haven’t seen much of a discussion around that school so I was wondering if the curriculum is like… worth it, you know? I’m not some super-bright 2200-SAT scoring kid (even though I have a 3.9 GPA at the same time… hmph), but I’m extremely focused on finding an awesome career and I want to be assured that I’ll know what I’m doing in order to make that happen.

Some other questions and concerns. I understand that “college is what you make it” and I’ve always been one of those mega-involved students. I’m involved in numerous clubs at school now AND I have a job at the mall (which is really rare for most kids, most are in college, especially the ones I work with), and I do volunteering, so I don’t have much fear that I won’t be “involved,” because it’s kind of my nature. The thing is though, I’m scared that if I end up at Hofstra, I won’t be able to make friends. I know it sounds really dumb and childish but that’s the honest truth… lol. And I’m not a partier so I’m afraid I won’t be received well enough, and then I’ll become all lonely and depressed and hate my experience, blah blah blah. If anyone can give me some guidance I would REALLY appreciate it. Thanks :)
