College help?

I'm seriously thinking about majoring in biology when i get to college.. i want to do genetic research, forensic science, or biomedical engineering... I'm seriously thinking about going to Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Troy New York... has anybody gone there or is gong there and can you tell me if you like the college and your experience? or if you major in biology or any related sciences, what college you would recommend... i need to make a list of colleges to visit this summer.. I've been doing tons of research but it is nice to get some primary sources.. thanks

College help?
Right now I attend VCU as a forensic science major. You can't major in Biology to become a forensic scientist. It is a major on it's own. They make you choose a track before your sophomore year. You will either complete the forensic chemistry or biology. I chose the biology track. It depends on what you want to do with it. Biology is usually for health majors like pre-dentistry,pre-therapy etc... It you want to do biomedical engineering you would not be a biology major, but an engineering major. The fourth link I have included is to help you choose a major. VCU is a good school if you like diversity, and want to attend a large college. We also offer free tutoring for almost all subjects. Good luck I hope you are happy with whatever you choose.
Reply:ok here is my advice... First off realize that majoring in Biology and majoring in Biomedical Engineering are very different things. My suggestion is to stay away from the general biology degree and go with the Biomedical Engineering. It makes you WAY more employable. When in doubt in college majors get specific. If you want to do Genetics Major in Genetics.


As far as colleges go It can really be up in the air as to what is the best. And it only matters to a point. Most employers aren't gonna be able to tell the difference between University of Ohio and the University of Wisconsin so just pick one that your gonna be happy at.
