Question
Hi Susie,
  I'm a junior in CA and have just started to really look for schools im interested in. I was wondering if you could give me some suggestions of good schools in CA that fit me and that I would probably be accepted to. I'm in the IB program, have pretty good test scores, volunteer and play sports .I have no idea what I want to major in, so I'm looking for a school that i could go to and figure out what i want to study.I would prefer a big school in a big town, rather than a small one. Any suggestions?

Answer
I would suggest you go to the University of California website and explore the different campuses and the options they offer.  They provide a good solid education that is very reasonably priced for California residents.  If you are considering a private school, USC would be a good choice.  All would allow you to explore different courses before deciding on a major.
