I am a relatively new web-designer at a company that creates websites that provide students with information and statistics about colleges. I have become more and more interested in UX design, and I love to discuss ideas/projects/problems/solutions.

Indeed, that is good to keep in mind. Sometimes it's hard to get out of "designer" mode.

Yeah, your second paragraph is the approach we decided to go with. Thanks for the suggestion in your last paragraph, that is quite a good idea.

Yes, that is the type of dropdown I'm talking about. Essentially, I was wondering whether it's better to have a table where the dropdown width doesn't encroach on adjacent columns, with a dropdown that truncates its contents when selected (In your example it would look like "Heating, Ventilation and air..."), OR a dropdown that takes up as much horizontal space as needed and encroaches on it's neighboring columns. In the end we decided to go with the former option.

Thanks for sharing this, I discussed it with some of my teammates and dev and we won't be implementing it unfortunately, but I'm definitely going to give it a try other projects
