Williams College in Massachusetts, with a major in art and (an almost major - my school doesn't have minors) in math. Unfortunately for me (and my GPA), I had a falling out with a professor in the department freshman year and decided to drop pursuing the major (I just took a lot of math classes instead). Generally, I don't do well on tests unless they're multiple choice or math tests, so Art, while its a passion of mine (not painting or anything, just studying) it was kind of my only choice here (my writing skills leave much to be desired, apparently).

Ithaca College, over in NY. I'm majoring in Creative Writing, and I also might try for a double major in Drama over there. While I don't have a minor at the moment, my top choices are Journalism or Psychology.

I'm doing my AA in Science here locally at Barton, mainly because it's a free Associates for military spouses.

After that, I am not sure what I want. I have no idea where we will be stationed next, so I can't really plan all that much for my BA. I've held jobs fixing computers before, but not sure which route I'm going to want to persue in IT.

I'm majoring in Economics at Campbel Univeristy in North Carolina.

I find the number of people at George Mason interesting. I'm just starting my sophomore year, but I'd like to go to grad school there when the time comes.

Seattle or one of two other campus in the State of Washington? My big sis went to UW in Seattle and majored in Japanese Linguistics.

Emory University, majoring in neuroscience. And thanks to all the pre-reqs that major requires I'll probably end up graduating with a minor in psychology, possibly a second in biology (if that's allowed, I don't know), and if I wanted to I could just take an extra chemistry course and graduate with a third minor in chemistry as well.

Not entirely sure what I'm going to do with it yet. I'm leaning towards going for my Ph.D. and getting a job as a researcher at a university (probably the most aspie-friendly career out there). However, I'd also like to have a nice six figure income to show for 10 years of post-secondary schooling and the hundreds of thousands of dollars of debt I'll have accumulated so I'm also toying around with the idea of going to med school to become a neurologist or maybe a psychiatrist. However, I haven't been as on top of things as I should have been and as a result I'll probably need to take a year off on top of the extra year I'm already having to spend in college (this major is nothing but one enormous chain of pre-reqs, and as a result if you don't decide on doing it your first year of college you're going to need a fifth year), at least I will if I want to go to med school. The problem is that although I have 1.5 years of research experience none of it was very meaningful (no projects, no publications, no conferences, no useful techniques learned). Plus I need to really start cramming in some volunteer hours, and I really need to start cramming for the GRE or MCAT.
