Take a look at your personal morals and religious beliefs. Find a college that is closest to that. If you do that most of the people there will share similar beliefs and make adjusting easier, making friends easier and just make the overall quality of life better for you!!

First of all, make a list of your expectations for your ideal college. Try your best to fulfill these expectaions as your search for the right college for you. Next choose a college/university based on whether they have the degree path you are interested in pursuing. The college needs to fit your criteria for accreditation, tuition costs, student to teacher ratio, and overall friendliness of faculty, staff, and students.
To make the most of your college experience you should not get involved with too many extra-curricular activities. Stretching yourself too thin and not allowing enough time for your studies is never a good path to take. Pay attention to all requirements your professors have for you. Some expect different things and you need to meet their requests. Complete all assignments on time and study hard. Last, but definately not least, attend all classes and don't be late. If you follow this advice, you will be well on your way to making the most of your college experience and succeeding in your higher education.

Finding the right college can be a difficult and stressful process. However, given good information and an idea of career goals, choosing a college can be simple. My advice to parents and/or students would be to gather as much information as possible concerning schools and the majors offered and financial aid available. Parents and students should sit down together and decide how much money they will be able to spend per semester, then look for schools that offer financial aid that will allow them to spend the minimum amount possible.
Besides the money, there are other things to consider when looking for the right college. Do they offer a degree plan that interests you? Is the college located in the type of environment you would prefer to live in (city, country, etc.)? Visit the campus. Do students there look happy? Are the students friendly? Also take a look at the extracurricular activities that are offered. Be sure that you would be comfortable and happy at that college.
Finally, just relax! College is a time to establish friendships that will last forever. It will be a wonderful, fun, and eye-opening experience with memories that will last a lifetime.
