Choosing a major is an important step in selecting a college. Attending the right college helps a student get the best education in their field. The convenience of being close to home attracts both students and parents as the costs of college seems to be rising constantly. Getting involved in the campus life makes a student not only feel comradery as a student but also productive as a citizen.
Athens State University offers a superior education for teachers and business majors; coupled with their low tutition cost, Athens State is hard to beat. I am proud to say that I am a student who is engaged in a quality educational environment.

FInd a college that has a program that is in the field you want to go into. The college life is lots of fun but the most important thing is the education that you are going to recieve. I hope that you have fun in your college experience but look at the academics of the school and make the choice that best fits your buget and your choice of career.

As a parent and student, I would advise students to try and do their best. I know that college is suppose to be a fun and exciting time, but it also requires alot of hard work. If students have to go to school and work, Athens State University offers alot of on-line courses. The only thing about this type of education is that you have to be very disciplined in doing your work. The best advise I can offer for finding the right college is to look around and find a college that meets your needs in order to have a fun and rewarding college experience. Once you decide on a college, remember to do your best. Doing your best has benefits such as scholarships and club memberships. This can help with financial needs while going to school.

Finding the right college depends on the type of individual. Some individuals are mature enough to venture out on their own, far away from home. They are ready for self responsibility. These are the people that have already had a fair amount of life experiences which gave them the opportunity to be on their own. I think that college away from home is well suited to these individuals. Then, there are some young people who have not had the opportunity, for whatever reason, to learn enough about themselves while growing up. These individuals need to stay close to home and keep the support of family and friends nearby. College often offers too much freedom when compared to the last years of high school and some people do not know how to budget their time and money. This is a time to learn how to prepare for life. Preparing for a career is important, but it is also important to prepare mentally and socially for life. Collge needs to be a positive experience from the very beginning, or students may feel it is too much and drop out for life.
