Students should narrow their career choices down and go to a school that specializes in those career choices, if they are confused or do not really know what they want to do then thats what most universitys are for, to explore different career options and to help students find their true passion in life. I went to a Cal State University because it was close to home and I did not feel pressured to choose a career at the instant. Majors change throughout your college career and you grow through the experience, remember college is the time to explore, before you reach the adult workforce where you will spend the majority of your life. Don't hold back, try different things, you will surprise yourself and you wont have regrets of not participating in something because of your uncertainty. A college should not feel intimidating, if the environment is too enclosed, try an urban campus, if its too crowded, look for one with less students. The perfect college is different for everyone and everyones college experience is different because of that.

There is no good or bad college. what matters the most is what that specific student whats to study & achieve. find a school that will be the best at doing so.

If you know what you want to do in your future then go for the school that is best for you education wise. No matter what the social life is up to you and what you make of it so dont worry about that. What should matter the most is your education because from there you will meet people just llike you and it will create many friendships and bonds that you may not get at other schools.

It's important to look into various areas and to make sure you find which major would suit you best.

Simply, I would tell parents to allow their child to choose the college that is best suited for them. Enabling them to do this gives them the opportunity to make an important decision for themselves that, essentially, affects the rest of their lives. When doing this, however, parents have to caution their children to not make a decision that is based soley on where their friends are going or where their parents went, because, as in any other situation, what is good for one person is not always good for another person. Going to college is an important process where most people tend to have the greatest experiences that impact their lives that develop them into the person they are to become.
