I'm just starting to get into investing, and I don't want to have to change brokerages later on. I've heard that Robinhood is pretty beginner friendly, but I've also heard some negative things.
Can someone break down the pros/cons of both? Also, should I be sticking with one brokerage or use more than one?
I was recently accepted into Schreyer as a current Penn State student, but I'm not sure whether the additional responsibilities are worth it for a pre-med student.
From what I understand, I'd have to take more rigorous coursework and complete a thesis, but I wouldn't receive the annual scholarship that students admitted as freshmen get. Between pre-med prerequisites, maintaining a strong GPA, research, volunteering, shadowing, and other extracurriculars, my schedule already feels pretty packed.
The main benefits I can think of are priority registration, access to up to $4,000 in funding, and having Schreyer Honors College on my application when applying to medical school.
For those who have gone through Schreyer as pre-meds (or know people who have), did you find it worthwhile? Did the benefits outweigh the extra workload?
