Second, get informed what your options are after graduated, this is especially important since it will be great difference in salary depending on what job and in what area of profession you will work in. One more thing that is important is your school, they must be able to provide knowledgeable teachers (in order to provide quality education) and be well organized, they are after all there to assist students during their studying years.
