Question
How do I find out which colleges are suited for my line of study?
Major: Mechanical Engineering
Minor: Business Administration

Answer
You should first think about what you want in a college experience in addition to your interest of study.  Consider size, location, competitiveness, etc.  Mechanical engineering is usually offered in larger institutions rather than smaller.  Make a list of schools that sound appealing and then check their majors to see if they offer what you are looking for.  The best place to start in an internet search for schools offering mechanical engineering.
