I would tell them to go and check the school out before attending. The school may look or say something that catches your attention but when you get there it is not what you thought. Also to make sure that your school is in a safe surrounding. Find out how helpful and expericence the teaching is there and the tempertures aroubd you are.

Some advice I would give to students searching for the right college would be follow your instincts and go with your choice and not the tempation of following others and letting your parents choose. Make the most of your college experience by not procrastinating and priortizing your time for schoolwork first, don't let parties and gathering overwhelm you.

I would tell parents and /or studets who are looking into colleges to first decide what your passion is and to be sure that the school you choose has that major, i would also tell them that although college is about education it is important to maintain a healthy social life. as long as you balance your books and social activities accurately college will be the ultimate learning experience because it allows you to expand academically, emotionally, and mentally.

I would advise that they research the schools they plan to attend. Don't listen to what other people tell you go see for yourself. All people are different and see things in different prospectives. Some students might hate a school because they failed a class or dont like their professors. On the other hand people might be at the worst school ever but will tell you their school is the best because of the things that go on outside the classroom on campus or even off campus. So i suggest that that students go on campus tours and ask the students questions and they will never go wrong with the choice of their school.

My advice would be to find the best school that will give you the best education, be able to help you achieve your dreams, and get you the job that goes with your dream.

The best advice i could give is to have your child decide on a few things. Does he/she want to be in state or out of state, big or small campus, HBCU or majority college/university. When making those decisions it is always best to look at the pros and cons of each selections. Once that has been made you can make a decision on where you want to apply. Make sure that the school has the major you like and extra-curricular activites that you want to do as well. You do not want to go to a college/university and not have a blast at the school. You want to get out and meet new people and have fun by getting involved on campus.

I would let them know to fully learn about the college and do not just pick a school that is far away from parents because that is the first thing that most students look for when it comes to colleges. In order to make the college experience memorable , be yourself and everything will fall in place.

I would say do alot of research when looking into a college and have a feel of what you want and need out of a college. Like would you rather go to a black college or it doesnt matter do you need or prefer a small or big learning environment, what is the price range of the college. These are just a few questions that you should ask yourself when considering a college.! Once you find a college with all the things you are looking for then college is all about what you make it if you keep up with your studies and then put parties and activities next then you will succeed but college is not all about partying so you cant allow yourself to get caught up with the parties you have to think about your future and what your in college for.!
