School debate

During the discussion many important points came up concerning the descision process of choosing a school. First, it was noted that field of interest was the number one priority in choosing a school (such as engineering, medicine, business, etc). However, if two equally renowned schools are available, the school closest to home should be chosen for simplicity of transportation. A second interesting point discussed by my classmates and I was that extra-curricular activities would likely help a student in his studies as long as it pertains to his field, and that a reasonable amount of time is spent on the activity. Finally, it was noted that if a student has no particular preference in choosing field of studies, that student should make a choice based on basic interests (computers, mechanics, etc) and employments statistics of past graduates. This is simply because if you aren't sure whether or not you will like the field, you might as well make sure that you will get a job uppon graduation, and that it will pay rather well.
