I will advise that, when you search a College or University you need to find the one who is giving what you want to learn and what you want to study. Learning in a center that is focused to prepare you the best way available is the best guarantee that you will fell proud about your selection, and for sure, your college experience.

Remember that when you make your desition, you need to hear from others who attend that college/ university to know what they fell about being there, also it is a good option to visit the campus and talk to alumni o alumna about what was their experience when they were there, also to compare a college with another, or a university with another is what make you decide where you want to be.

You have to be real with your self. Do not worry about all the rankings and prestige associated with universities and colleges. Find the best educational institution that fits your financial needs and your future goals. Selecting the right school is very difficult but you have to narrow down those institutions to the ones that best fit you. It is all about you. Be selfish, you are the one who is going to take classes and do all the work. Find the right college based on you and your needs. These four years will be a learning experience but the key is to make it a positive one. Getting involved that is the best way to make furthering your education really wonderful. By being involved you can make friends and become more comfortable with the campus. Make the right decisions on what you can handle and just be yourself. By putting in the effort you will make the most of your college experience and it will be really great.

Assess your attitudes and capabilities before choosing a school. Choose a school that can provide a breadth of experience approaching the uncomfortable. This is how we mature. Colleges and universities work very hard to design an experience that will transform the high school student from an enthusiastic participant in our society into a leader who will use their knowledge and training to influence the world around them. Do what you love, but be aware that what you love may change. When you apply to schools, ensure that you have a number of options should you want to transfer or change your major. Buying a thousand dollar music credit hour with nothing to show for it as an aviation student is no fun. Always remember that you are the master of your education. If you feel that you need a change, the institution you choose should be willing and able to help you. After all, you're the one cutting the checks; that means you're the boss. Think of this choice as hiring a faculty, staff, and campus full of students to change your life.

Make sure the size of the school and what is offered there is taken into account. I came from a high school class of only 130 so having small classes was important to me. I love knowing all of the students in my classes and not having to sit in a lecture hall! I also reccomend getting involved with clubs and organizations on campus. They are what really makes the college experience worthwhile!
