Make sure to choose a school based on your own wants and desires, not those of your friends or familys. Take into consideration the size of the school, such as the class size, and the location and size the the surrounding community. It was extremely important for me to have a school where I would have access to my professors.

Have fun and be open minded...don't limit yourself to classes in your "major." College is a time to discover what things intrest you, so TRY new things!

Deciding upon the right college must be based upon who you are and who you want to become. As many people have said, college is a wonderful time to learn more about yourself; really, college is a time to grow. You have been growing into who you were intended to be your entire life, so picking a college should be a natural fit, although perhaps one that seems scary. You will not be changing who you are; rather, you will be growing into who you should become. Based upon what you do know of yourself, I suggest you choose a school with a comfortable location and size, academics in which you seek to become more knowledgable, but especially one with a solid liberal arts education. A variety of subjects enables you to wrap your mind around new topics, to think in fresh ways, and to be prepared to question. You are likely to fail, especially in those areas where you find you are weakest, but in overcoming your failures an in persisting forward, you will grow. This growth with help you to become more solidly grounded in your academic interests, but most importantly in knowledge of self, neighbor, and God.

I would encourage to definitely visit the campus before making a decision. My college was way out of my price league, and I never really gave it second thought, until I visited it and felt at home. Cost of tuition was definitely out of my league, but after finding financial aid the school offered, I was able to attend. So definitely visit the campus!

You've heard that college is the best four years of your life. That's only true if you make it that way. Pick a school which will allow you to thrive and develop into a well-rounded individual. To find the right college, make a list of about five items that are important in your unviersity. Religious affiliation, geographic location and small classes were a few of mine. However, be open-minded about universities that do not fit your list. To make the most out of the college experience, you must be proactive. Do not wait for your new lifelong friends to come find you, instead go knock on the door across the hall. Explore your interests, but do not let extracirriculars come before school work. Use your professors as resources. Take advantage of their office hours and develop a realtionship with them. You will be first on their list for research assistants or interns and you never know when you might need a recommendation.
