The best advice I can give to anyone about finding the right college and making the most of the college experience is this: do not sell yourself short. I made that very same mistake when I first got out of highschool and I decided to work at a regular job. After taking a year off after highschool and working I decided I should really go to school to get an education. Soon I went to a City University of New York school nearby and I had no real ambition or thought process as to why I went there in the first place or what I wanted to accomplish after. Spending 3 years of my college life studying a major I hated at a hardly accredited school I decided to go to a State University and not a so called "College." We often sell ourselves short when we don't know what we want or are too afraid of the work process involved to get us to our goals. DO NOT SELL YOURSELF SHORT. Basically, in most simplest terms realize your passion, whatever it may be and find the best school that teaches you to embrace it and never settle.
