Make sure to pick a school that has a promising program of study that you're interested in and one that will also meet your criteria for a social life. College is a big deal and my best advice is to not settle for less. Go big, or stay home!

I would tell them to find a place where they feel at home. The best environment is a school that isn't to small or to big...that has a lot of oppurtunities to get involved and make friends.

My advice would be to take time to find out what you really enjoy doing. Dont be afraid of trial and error. I encourage you to do and learn new things, even if it takes you out of your comfort zone. The more experience you have i believe stability comes and with stability comes confidence. Which will allow you to become focused on what it is you want to do exactly, put your mind to it and give it your best possible effort.

Students should apply themselves and complete programs within reasonable time to minimize drawn-out costs.

Don't go to a college because your parents, someone in your family, or your friends went to that school. Go to a school that offers a strong program in the field that you want major in. Make sure you are comfortable with class size, the surrounding environment, and the annual weather climate. All of these aspects make a big difference your success rate. While in college, get involved. College is supposed to be the best years of your life. However, if you just sit around and do nothing but study, yes you will probably come out with good grades, but you will have nothing else to show for your years in college. If you want to go greek, find the one that best matches you: your needs and wants, beliefs, morals, and religion aspect. But there are other ways to get involved than just Greek life. Also, be good to yourself. Keep yourself fed, and well-rested. It is virtually impossible to really enjoy college if you are sick from malnutrition or lack of sleep.

It's important that you find a college or university that fits the student. It's helpful the first year to live on campus where you are completely imersed in your education. Get involved in one thing at a time. Do not overdo it. It is easy to feel the need to socialize but remember, what you do with these years at college, effects the rest of your life. You have the rest of your life to party if you want...it is only four years, seriously.

The advice I would give to students is to pick out a college that best suit your needs and a college that is affordable. Parents should let their child decide what school he or she wants to go to and support them in any situation he or she goes through.
