When looking for a college with your future college student, you must immidiately apply to as many college scholarships as possible. By having alot of your child's college payed for, it helps keep your options open for a variety of colleges. You will also need your child to have taken the ACT or SAT a few different times. That will help get them a higher score and better their chances at acceptence into the schools of thier choice. Once you have done those steps, find out what field your child would like to study. Look for high gradutation ratios and national rankings of that college. For example, if your child wants to go into Pre-Med, find a college that has a very high percentage of acceptance into Med School. That last step should narrow your search down quite a bit. Once you have narrowed it down, look into each college thuroughly and get input form other, possibly alumni. If your child wants to be in a Frat house, than look into if the college has them and see how they impact the college. From there, it's up to you and your child.

A very important part of finding the right college is the class size. You need to be aware of the size of classes at your school. Some colleges have classes that are very impersonal because there are so many students in a classroom. This does not allow for as much interaction between students and the professor. Also, the lectures become impersonal and are likely to be considered boring. To be engaged in class it is better to have smaller classes. This also allows for more opportunity for students to ask questions. In larger class, they may not have the opportunity to ask questions or they may not feel as comfortable asking in front of so many people.

Do your research! Find out what kind of reputation your program has at that school. Visit the school; do the whole formal school tour thing, but then go walk around on your own, walk through the buildings, talk to different students that are currently attending, and e-mail some of the instructors. If the school is far away, and the student will have to move, make sure you check out the town; walk around by campus, see what the crime rate is, make sure your going to be o.k. with the weather. You can be accepted to the best school in the nation, but if you are miserable in the place you have to live I don't think it is worth it. In conclusion, DO YOUR RESEARCH!!!!!

Do not stress about it. If there is a will there is a way. Enjoy the experience and do all that you can.

Learn about everything that is available, study abroad, and make good friends

Go and spend time there, if you feel comfortable could see yourself at the college its probably a good choice.

Everyone has different requirements when trying to find the perfect college. It is important to figure out what matters most to you in your future college experience. Contemplate the pros and cons of each school. Do you want to be part of a sorority/fraternity? Is the location, weather and surroundings suitable for your lifestyle? Does this school have classes for your field of interest? Are the credits you obtain likely to transfer to another school if you desired? All of these, along with many others, are important questions to ask when looking for a school. When you have found the perfect school, get involved as much as you can! College is a special experience, so make the best of it by joining clubs and going to campus events. Sit in front of the classrooms so you're more likely to pay attention, go to tutor sessions and reviews, form study groups, learn how to take clear, concise notes and ask questions! That may be the most important piece of advice. Don't ever be afraid to ask a professor or peer if you are confused and need clarification. Remember: there is always someone ready to help you in college.

LOOK AROUND! I didn't really look at any other schools besides the one I'm going to, and there's no reason for that. You should research and look into as many schools as you want and pick one that excites you; one that you look forward to heading off to. and don't wait until the last minute to do ANYTHING. Get rolling with the college thing as soon as you can.

I would say find out what the student wants: the size and focus of the school, how hard you will have to work to get the best education at the school, and the price of the school. One a school is found, try to visit the campus and talk to many people around it: everyone has a different experience and opinion of their college. After you're at a university find all the options of what you can do socially and academically, but don't get ovewhelmed and focused completely on one.
