Major: Mechanical Engineering (This Major's Salary over time)
Overall, I would say that my engineering degree was very well taught. However, I was an in state student, but my education was still pretty pricey. I found a couple ways to save money.

1. Get an apartment or house with as many other people as you can stand to live with.

2. Don't spending a fortune drinking during the week, or at least make sure you use the specials.

3. Don't pay a cover at bars.

4. Don't buy your books at the bookstores. Buy them online, I found to save me like $200 my last semester.

5. Try to avoid bringing a car - people will always want to mooch it off of you or have you drive.

I think that's it. Good luck!
