In order to find the right college students should attend information sessions and tours at the colleges they are interested in. Also if students know what major they want to choose they should look into colleges that emphasize that major. Once students are at college to make the most of their college experience it is beneficial to get to know upperclass men and other students of diverse backgrounds. Most colleges also have a variety of services that cater to most of the students' needs so students should not hesitate to use them. One of the most important things a college student has to learn is time management. While being academically focused is very important, it is also important to spend time with family/friends and take part in activities you are interested in outside of school. Thus it is extremely useful for college students to learn how to balance their academic and social lives.

Take a trip down to Hunter College and give yourself a chance to feel the energy and learning experience. Hunter will provide a learning experience like no other. Only thing left to say is try it out and see for yourself.

The advice I would give to students who are looking to find the right college for them is to go on the college tours that is offered to High School seniors, and ask themselves "do I see myself in this environment? Do I want something bigger or smaller?" and similar series of questions. The key to finding the right college is to find the college one feels most at home, students will spend many hours in the college they will spend four or so years in, thus the key is to find the right home, a college one can see themselves sending a lot of time in with ease and comfort. It is also important to know that the college offers many things outside of academic classes such as clubs and organizations which will make up for much of the social life that happens in the college. The wrong way of choosing a college is to simply go with the one that general people consider the "best", whats more important that it is the "best" for the student themselves because over the next few years, they'll have to give the college some of their best effort, money, and time.

DON'T WASTE IT!!!!!!!! SPEND YOUR TIME WISELY AND AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE HAVE FUN!!!! (OF COURSE, WHILE CONCENTRATING ON YOUR SCHOOLWORK!) COLLEGE IS THE BEST YEARS OF YOUR LIFE, AND WHEN ITS OVER, TRUST ME, YOU'LL MISS IT!!!!!!!! AND DON'T MOVE BACK HOME WHEN YOU ARE HOMESICK! YOU THINK YOU MISS YOUR PARENTS/HOME BUT YOU'LL MISS OUT ON YOUR INDEPENDENCE!!!!!!

Determination and common sense are crucial, without them your college experience will be squandered. You, the student, must prepare his/her self to embrace not only the academic responsibilities, but the social, and financial undertakings associated with a higher education. Doing so will transform the individual into a person whom is capable of understanding and appreciating their qualities, ambitions, and limitations. Although, bear in mind that such a path is not preset, therefore, the journey will at times seem difficult, so I strongly advise to make yourself visible to others, both throughout academia and the social community. With such knowledge considered the reward will be well worth the endeavor.

With the economy that the United States is facing right now is, as everybody knows, not in a very good shape. A college is a college and that names does not justify the school's curriculum. I thought about going to CUNY Hunter over and over again and has realized that I had made the right choice because it is fairly affordable (that is, most students here do not take loans because they can actually afford to go to this school) and that it is a very liberal and in a very good academic standing, especially here in New York City. For parents, let your child decide what they want to do because they need to learn how to take responsibilities by making the right decissions. If they make a mistake, do not hold it against them because we all make mistakes and that it is part of their growth to adulthood. For students, especially freshmen college students, do not take college for granted. It is okay to have some fun once in a while, but do not abuse it. College would do you good, more so after graduation, than partying every single night. All the pain is worth it.

The advice I would give to both students and parents is to listen to each other and be receptive of the schools that each of you feel is best. I actually ended up at a school that my parents had pushed me to apply to and I loved it. Make a list of everything that you want out of your college experience and out of the college itself. Visit all of the schools that you're applying to, even the safety schools. Make sure that if you end up going to a school it is one that you can see yourself at. Doing some research on the schools is the only way to be certain that you're applying to schools that are a good fit for you. Also, if you're not sure what you want to major in, choose a school with a lot of options so you can take classes in as many fields as possible. This way you can narrow down what you like and what you can barely tolerate. But no matter how you approach selecting a college remeber that this desicion will impact the rest of your life; so make it count.

find somewhere that is diverse, academically nourishing and also economical!!!
