Sad Bread Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 I want to get a linguistics major but I don't know what school I should go to. I have googled many schools but wanted a more personal opinion. I'm open for any suggestions that you have! Link to post Share on other sites
Yatogami Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 Google the best Linguistic schools. Link to post Share on other sites
NerotheReaper Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 Google Best Linguistic schools, or a similar phrase. You might ask what makes a good school for a certain major, I would say the employment rates students have X amount months after graduating. Some schools really help get their students ready for employment after school, (career fairs, career services on campus) which can be a hard job alone. It is important for a school to be active in their student's success. Also even if you don't attend the best school for your major, make the most out of the school you do attend and network. Networking is very important, when you make connections you give yourself a better chance of eventually landing a job. Good luck! Link to post Share on other sites

Evren Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 Also this book https://www.amazon.com/Colleges-That-Change-Lives-Schools/dp/0143122304/ref=zg_bs_11634_9?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=PFFJ5JJ24095A4P7HBX2 Was really instrumental in changing the way I thought about college. It also includes the only 3 free colleges in America, and colleges which specifically focus on internships and getting you a job after college. Link to post Share on other sites

Hick Wizard Posted June 11, 2018 Share Posted June 11, 2018 I would check out the University of Iceland, don't know what courses they have, but they don't have tuition fees, so the price is right at least. Link to post Share on other sites
