My advice is to take your time, start the process early, set goals, and realize and understand that college is what you yourself make it out to be. It takes a while for everyone to adjust, and you may not pick the right school right away, but when you get in the right crowd, get adjusted and most importantly set goals for yourself, you will begin to enjoy what many people call the best years of your life. It is important to always set goals and hold high expectations of yourself, and it makes it much easier to understand why you need to go to class and do well in school once you have a goal. Also, just try to have fun!

My advice is to visit as many campuses as you can in order to get a better feel of what attending that school will be like.

Take your time when you decide on your school. Don't let friends or social networks weigh your decision; focus on a University that appeals to you, your passions and educational goals. The rest will come naturally as long as YOU are happy. Next step is to make sure you are secure financially. Apply for every scholarship possible, and save your money!

As long as you go you will succeed and not cheat your self of your own education. Be safe, have fun, and enjoy some of the most memorable times of your life!

The best advice I would give is to visit the school, look around. Ask yourself questions. Do you see a variety of activities and resources available to the student attending? How active could someone be living in this community? How many choices are there for the future student? Once answering these questions, I assure you that the answer will be obvious, do you want to go to school here?

Honestly I think the reason why I ove my college so much is because I participate in everything I can. I am apart of a sorority, work oncampus and lived in the dorms. I believe that you must fully indulge yourself in the atmopshere of the university to enjoy your experience. The best advice I was given is everyone goes to college a little scared, so be as friendly and outgoing as possible early on. I go to a college where 1{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} is from out of state, and I live 3000 miles from my parents, so I had to make good friends to travel home with when I get homesick. I say step outside your comfort zone, you never know what greatness will come from it.

The letters have finally arrived and the e-mails have filled your e-mail account. "Congratulations," they say, "you have been accepted to our university". Celebration is surely on its way but first, the ever-looming question must be answered: Which college will you choose? Some find this question terrifying, and that is completely acceptable. Picking where you will further your education is monumentally important so here is some advice: First of all, remember that it is okay to be nervous. Secondly, this choice should be made for your happiness, not that of your peers, however important they may be. Thirdly, remember that this is nothing you cannot handle, after all, you survived four years of high school, didn't you? Research your choices thoroughly and you will be fine. Upon arriving at your new school, take a deep breath, eliminate your nervousness, and throw yourself into this new experience. A positive attitude and hard work will make your time at college quite wonderful. And parents, encourage and support your child as they make this important decision. Your child is entering into the unknown, and it is important to remember that their experience will be challenging and, hopefully, great.

If you are seriously consider Chico State as a learning environment for either yourself or a student in your home, be sure to visit our campus and if time allows, to participate in the orientation program. It is vital to your decision that you visit the campus and take a walk around, stop by the Bell Memorial Union, home of Student Government, Student Activities and more. It is the best place to meet students and find out about our wonderful campus.

Choose the college that makes you the happiest, not the college that will give you the greatest chance for success. It is much more important to cherish your memories of college than to compete for the best. College is about the journey, not the destination.
