First, I would suggest to the student that they need to choose a college that is the best for them and not their parents. Being open-minded also helps in the selection process. Second, fill out all the paperwork and, or scholarships ahead of time because if you wait to send it in just barely ahead of time it makes a difference on the amount of help you will receive. Third, although as a student you may have a lot more freedom compared to living with your parents, there is a limit. Spending the night just hanging out with friends or doing something different is a great way to relieve stress but too much can hurt you acidemically. Always keep in mind that you are here to get an education, hand your assignments in on time, and enjoy making new friends.

Find a college that best suits the personality as well as the educational needs of your son/daughter. The price of the college whether high or low should not be the determining factor. Visit the college in question and ask important questions. Listen to how thorough their responses are. Are they honestly answering your questions or just telling you what you want to hear, to promote their school. Once in college the secret to most successful students is to be involved in campus activities/extracurricular activities. Don't do so many activities that your studies will suffer. Try to find the balance that works for you.
