My mind seem really set on becoming an engineer.
So I'm really going to apply for the pre-course I need to qualify for the courses in engineering.
However, I have to apply before April 15, I think.
So this is the easy part, of course.
Applying is easy, even if I change my mind by the time I get to know if I'm accepted, I can decline.
The thing is, already now, I have to decide where I want to possibly study later on.
First there is the Univeristy in Tromsø.
However they don't offer the pre-course to be taken in my hometown, Alta.
So if I want to study there, I will have to leave this fall.
Then there's Høgskolen in Narvik (a college I guess).
They do offer you the pre-course to be taken in Alta and if you pass you are guaranteed a spot in Narvik afterwards.
But do I want to go to that school?
Dad, mom and onechan all went to this school.
So I feel a bit pre-judged. The teachers know mom and onechan, and maybe they expect me to measure up.
Plus my parents and sister will ask me about how I find the teachers.
I just.. don't really like being around people who know neither my parents or siblings.
Then again, I might not even have the same teachers they had if I take computer/IT engineering.
Temprature and weather wise, I think it's probably the same.
Tromsø, all though beautiful and I love it, it's a bigger city than Narvik.
I also love Narvik actually, I've spent some time there when both mom and sister studied there.
Narvik is smaller, and so it's easier to find an apartment.
Rent is probably a lot cheaper too cause it's smaller than Tromsø.
Pretty much everyone is accepted to the pre-course here in Alta.
Applying to Tromsø might give me more competition.
If I take the pre-course in Alta, and pass, I already have a spot in any of the engineering courses in Narvik.
Smaller city = Better air
But to Narvik it's 460km, to Tromsø it's 292km.
Travelling expenses will be less if I went to Tromsø.
It is also shorter driving there, it's easier to fly there.
Getting around in Tromsø might be easier with busses and such than in Narvik.
If I study in Tromsø, I have to take the pre-course there too.
Meaning, I'm not sure if I can make it then.
Cause if I take it here, this one year of settling into math, physics and all, I have many to help.
I've never studied these things, so having mom, dad, sister and aniki, would be a great help.
They'd help study, they'd push me and teach me a lot as well.
Really, it could be what decides my fate.
Of course I could apply at other universities/colleges.
But the bigger city, more competition.
And I don't really want to go too far south.
Don't want to live in a huge city, not now, not while I'm studying.
No matter how I think about it, Narvik seem to be more ideal for me.
But it's really difficult to decide on something like this.
One decision, which will decide my whereabouts for about 3-4 years.
It's important that I get it right.
Just need to find out what is "right".
