Colleges like Purdue, Indiana University, and Ball State University are just a few examples of colleges you can get mechanical engineering degree from. Plus, there are lots of different extracurricular activities that I can do, while I take my classes. I can play sports, play and instrument, be a part of Theater, and other options.]]> 2023-10-10 01:34:12 UTC https://padlet.com/cshuler15/q40lxnfnvidktkx1/wish/2739018285 cshuler15 https://padlet.com/cshuler15/q40lxnfnvidktkx1/wish/2739045655 Going to college has always been expensive, and mechanical engineering is no exception. College price will vary depending on what classes I take, how many classes I take, and what college I go to.

-Ball State's yearly college tuition is 10290$, without counting classes, housing, and books. The total cost counting everything but classes is 14290$ - 17290$.

-Purdue's yearly college tuition is ~10000$, without counting classes, housing, and books. The total cost counting everything but classes is ~22660$.

-IU's yearly college tuition is ~11333$, without counting classes, housing, and books. The total cost counting everything but classes is ~18443$

As you can see, the price range is about 14000$, to 22000$. This means it will take me a long time to dig out of that much debt. But it's pretty normal to spend a lot of money on repaying debt, so it's not the most worrying part of my career.]]> 2023-10-10 01:54:25 UTC https://padlet.com/cshuler15/q40lxnfnvidktkx1/wish/2739045655 cshuler15 https://padlet.com/cshuler15/q40lxnfnvidktkx1/wish/2740103944 Living as an engineer will give me a median 69,800$ every year in Indiana. This salary will let me comfortably buy a house and pay the bills. Being a mechanical engineer, I will learn to help people, work with deadlines, and create without directions.]]> 2023-10-10 14:45:42 UTC https://padlet.com/cshuler15/q40lxnfnvidktkx1/wish/2740103944 cshuler15 https://padlet.com/cshuler15/q40lxnfnvidktkx1/wish/2740149529 Housing in college is surprisingly good. You can live in an apartment near by, commute, or live right on the campus in a dorm. Most colleges make students live in dorms as a freshman, but afterward, everything opens up. I would like to live in a dorm my first year, and then move to an apartment if I don’t like the dorm. I would love the freedom of have an apartment, being able to cook, shower in private, and other benifits. ]]> 2023-10-10 15:08:59 UTC https://padlet.com/cshuler15/q40lxnfnvidktkx1/wish/2740149529 cshuler15 https://padlet.com/cshuler15/q40lxnfnvidktkx1/wish/2740150274 Being an engineer will definitely be a challenge, but I think i’m ready for it. I believe that engineering is the path I will follow for the rest of my life, and the closer I get to making it a reality, the more confident I am that it is my future. But, if I want a successful and impactful future, I’ll need to work for it, so I’ll need to go to a good college, and put in effort. If I can, then can make one of my dream come true, and that’s what motivates me to be a mechanical engineer. ]]> 2023-10-10 15:09:23 UTC https://padlet.com/cshuler15/q40lxnfnvidktkx1/wish/2740150274
