Make sure to visit the college before you decide where to attend-- take a tour, speak with an admission counselor, stay in the dorms, and attend chapel services. This will give you a good feel for what the campus will be like.

When you are lookinh for a good school for your child! Make sure that you are looking for the religious backround as well as the Student teacher ratio.

Make sure that the college offers what you want to get in and also that there will eb a strong community to live in.

Attend a class, tour the campus, meet with students and professors. Make sure every aspect of the college/university fits who you are.

The advice I would give is to find a college that fits what the student wants their time to be like in college. If they are the kind of student that wants to be wild because they are free from their parents then I would send them to a state school. But if the student wants to focus on their studies and also play a sport I would send them to a private college or a very small public school. Also I would tell them that when making the college choice get all of your finances together so that once out of college the student, parents, or both do not have serious debt.

I would tell parents that they should let their children help their children by not allowing them to come home every weekend. It would lead to a more enjoyable experience. To student, I would tell them to just put themselves out there to make new friends and do new things.

Don't be afraid to be yourself. The people at Bethel will accept you for who you are!!!

I would encourage parents to help out their children as much as possible with financial obstacles that may come their way, and let students know they should apply for as much scholorship as possible. I would also let students knowthey should enjoy thier college years because they are truly the best years of thier lives. Live the moment, and cease the oppurtunities that come your way.

Make a financial plan for each college you are considering. All the way down to how much your laundry may cost a week. Find a campus that has a balance between its social life and acedemic life. That way one doesn't over power the other. They are both equally important, but if one becomes dominant, things can start to become stressful.
