Where do you live, and what part of the country would you like to go to
school in?

Massachusetts, and I'd like to attend college in the West or the Southeast.
I can't stand the climate here.

What are your school experiences (high school,
college,etc.)?

Middle school. I'm planning my high school schedule for next year according
to what I'll need for college. I like to look ahead, far ahead. I already
know most of the high school science curriculum though (physics and chem)
from studying on my own, but only basic algebra for math.

Do you just want to be a meteorologist just to be on
TV, or do you want to really study weather and do research? David
Letterman was a TV weatherman.

Definitely study and research. I don't really want to be on TV, except maybe
minimally if I was a specialist in something.

Do you have any particular area of weather you're interested in? A lot
of people are interested in severe weather (hurricanes, tornadoes and
severe storms, lightening, etc.).

Severe storms. I'm fascinated by the electromagnetic testing for tornadoes
described in the topic, "Tornado Advisory".

Others are interested in computer
modeling for forecasting. Each school will have strong points and
areas of specialty. In addition, due to the location of some
colleges/universities, local federal or civillian agencies offer
internships for college students. Again, what they do depends upon
where they are located. Tell us more about wat you want to do as a
meteorologist.


What I'm really looking for is somewhere with both really good meteorology
and interior design programs. It seems there are hardly any that even have
both, let alone have good ones in both. If I decide to focus on interior
design I'd go to UCLA, and I don't know yet for meteorology, (that's why I'm
asking) but at the time being I'd really like to do both.

Thanx.
