Ann Arbor is smaller than Kzoo. It is very close to Detroit though.

They are totally different worlds.
You should at least check out a small school to see if you like it.

When I was selecting schools, I started out (like most people) thinking only large state universities.

One visit to Albion College totally switched my opinion toward smaller schools.

Kalamazoo College has the huge benefit of being a small liberal arts school nestled into a larger college town (you're within a few blocks walk of WMU and downtown Kalamazoo).

It's worth a look, you might be surprised.

I think Pharmacist would be a great choice at Ferris (as posted earlier). Easy job, good pay and don't forget about the super special bene's. JK. Just say no.

Pharmacists will be making low six figures by the time you graduate in I think 5 years at Ferris. I actually looked in to their Pharmacy program about 9 years ago. I should have done it.
