The best advice that I could give to high school students who are in the process of trying to find a college that will be successful for him/her is to definitly do your research. It really is very important to go on these tours that the colleges offer just to see the campus and get a feel for what kind of atmosphere it is your looking for.

I would say that find a college that suits you the best. If you like big colleges then go to a big college, but if you want a small college then go to a small college. Cost is very important too! To make the most out of your college experience, work as hard as you can to earn good grades. Don't sell yourself short. However, you also want some sort of social life too. Meet as many new people as you can. Make the most of it because you will only have one chance to do it.

I feel that the best advice I could give to a parent of a student about to go to college or a student themself is to know what you're looking for. When you know what kind of environment and experience you would most likely want to immerse yourself into, then that can help narrow the choices for a college you'd like to attend. Once you're able to find a place that has what you are ultimately looking for, being able to have a great experience comes soon after. Getting involved with campus activities and the college community will really help a new student have a great experience. Through this, you will be able to meet new people from different parts of the country, even the world. You will be able to learn new things, get involved, and even learn new things about yourself. I know that I have grown so much as not only a student, but as a person in general. I am still continuously learning each and every day I am experiencing college life whether it is going to classes every day or being apart of a club or hanging with my friends. Be yourself!

Find a college that makes you still feel like home.

I would tell them not to attend a school thinking just because it has a higher tuition it is better. Even a school with a low tuition can have a huge impact on job placement, and on that persons life. I would also tell them to go to class and do the homework to their best ability, just by going to every class and trying on their homework can eliminate most of the stress of college life.

For me finding the college was a place in which I enjoy and create a new experience. I loved Castleton because I was able to feel like one big community who is there to help one another out. I loved my major as Spanish and Education becaues I could get the academic support from tutors and my professors!

Visit the school first whether it would be a guided tour or walk around yourself, ask people that go there how they like it. Go out and make friends try sports and other activites even if its a club or inturmural sport just be a part of something
