If the student is not sure what they don't want to now what they want to do for a major, it is ok to go to a community college. It saves a lot of money and most of the credits will transfor to the other college they want to go to after they know what they want to do with there life.

Read the books, stay over night, get a real feel for the campus. Ask actual students, not tour leaders.

Go to the college you want to go too.

Research research research!!!! Make sure you find the college that pertains to the field of study you want. If you are not happy you will not be motivated to work hard. Trust me you will want to receive all the credit you can get for the money you are paying. Also look at the campus and dorms before you accept, you will definantely be motivated in a pleasing environment.

Advice that I would give to parents and/or students about finding the right college is, first off just because it is the most expensive does not mean that it is the best. Second, I would go with your gut instinct and your first choice. Third make sure you check the campus out though preferably without anyone as a guide, for people showing you around are going to show you the best of the best and you really want to see the faults of the school. Finally check out some of the teachers, and attend functions, and maybe audit a class, for education is really what you want to make first in your choice.

I would tell students to look at a school based on what their intended major is. Everyone likes to have fun, so it is also important to pick a school where they will feel comfortable with their social setting. I would definitely suggest getting involved in a club or organization that interests you because that is how you meet people with similar interests. Do not try to have too many things going on at once, especially as a freshman. Freshman year is definitely a transition from high school, and sometimes the whole college environment can get overwhelming. Stay in touch with good friends from home and establish good friendships at school so you have people to talk to and relax with if you get overwhelmed.

My advise would have to be take a tour of the campus you would like to go to school at. I like CCSU because my brother went there and I have seen the school many times. When you start college, remember that you are there to further your education and learn new information so that you are ready to procede in the major you have picked for a career.

CCSU is a great college to go to. It is basically judgement free, affordable, and the faculty and colleagues are friendly

Education is an answer for many global problems. Therefore, finding the right school can become a really important task. Students should be able to feel comfortable. Within a college students should be able to represent who they are, their believes and their thoughts. Students should be able to be passionate about their fields of study in order to offer help with their knowledge.
