I would tell myself to go to college and stay in college. The outside world can wait and the money you could be making will come with a college degree. I would tell myself to put all of myself into school and never give up. I would also explain that even tho others or out parting and having fun you will in the long run have more fun and have more money. Life is what you make it, take it or leave it. Don't wait too long or you will never do it...

If I could go back I would make sure I drill in my head to go and do your best no matter what or who may try to get in your way or head, just to do your best. I say this to say that their are alot of changes that people make as a college student about theirselves, and i have notice those things. Thats why if i could go back I would say to myself never let anyone change who I am.

Do research on the neighborhood the school is located in. Find out the crime rate and what kind of activites the neighborhood has to offer the students. Make sure the school is accredited because that might matter to you depending on what the student plans on doing after graduation. Make sure the school is a place where you can feel comfortable, somewhat at home. You do not want to step out of your comfort zone.

Finding the right college is about locating the campus where you will fit in the most and be yourself. When going on college visits, one should try to conversate with current students and ask about life at that university. Once getting feedback from students, faculty, and university officials, ask yourself, "Is this really the college for me." Making the most of your college experience the basically doing what makes you happy. Dont tag along with people of negative influences as you will only hurt yourself and family in the long run. College is a place where you will meet a lot of friends, some of whom will remain for the rest of your life so choose them wisely.

The advice that i would pass on to parents or about finding the right college would be to find one where you feel like you would fit in the best. A college where you don't feel out of place due to your religion, ethnicity, or way you dress. If you are able to find a college where you fit into then it will be very easy to make the most out of your college experience because then you will love the place that you are at and will want to be involved with everything that goes on at that school.
