Find a school that best fits you. Visit lots of colleges, especially the ones that you are planning on applying to. Only apply to schools that you feel are the best fit for you. Do well in high school and really learn good study habits, depending on the school that you go to, it depends to catch up with you in the end. Go to any events on your college campus that you find interesting, you'll meet people that have the same interest as you. Most of the people you meet in college and develop friendships with, become life long friends because they have more of the similar interests than in high school.

First, you should decide what your major or minors will be. Having a clue as to what you would like to major in plays a big part into where you choose to go. Second, you should decide how far away you would like to travel. This is always a neglected issue, especially if you are not willing to travel very far. Last, you must decide how much you are willing to pay for your education. If you cannot afford your college, even with finacial aid it may not be the college for you.

My advice to students concerning finding the right college is to first discover their passion. Next, locate a college that embodies that passion, a school that will compliment you as an individual and a student. Additionally, I would seek to uncover a college with a diverse student body, as well as staff and faculty. In my opinion, exposure to different cultures, religions, thoughts, opinions and ways of expression will only enhance one's life. Finally, a school that has a support program in place to assist with job placement, mental health, mentorship and tutorship.

The college experience is much more than just an education; it is a holistic approach towards the development of a person transitioning into adulthood and ideally maturity. When choosing and appropriate college it is important to consider location, affiliation, education and goals. College is a time of personal choices and to have sucess it is important to understand the options and choose on which college you think will be most beneficial for the time after college. Almost qnyone can get a four-year degree, but not everyone can get an education. Education is a choice. In my opinion you can have alot more fun with 10,000 dollars than blowing it on dropping out of college, so if there is a college you decide on, get done what's necessary so you aren't throwing away a potentially great investment.

Go visit the college or university on a regularly scheduled school day, it will help you to get to know a little more about the school. Also ask as many questions as possible when visiting so you can get the full effect.

Choosing a college that is right for you is about the major you want to recieve but also about the way you want to live. Many schools offer the classes you will need to graduate but what makes a school stand out is the way of life at that campus. I chose the school I am at now because everyone is very friendly, not at all threatening, and morals and responsibilities are taught throughout the school. I feel like I am becoming the person I want to be as an adult, while friends at other schools are in another high school like stage of life. Being at a school where life choices are talked about, I feel like I am learning how to be an adult and I will be ready to face that life after graduation.

Pick one that will nto only be mentally challenging, but also a fun environment. The socialnness of the people on campus make a big difference for the school,.

The way I found the right college for me was by doing a lot of research. I looked at many different colleges that had some amazing programs. What really made my decision final was when I felt a connection. I knew that when I found the right school I would feel some sort of connection. When I felt the connection I knew what I had to do. I have never regretted my decision.

Find one that works for your child. Let them make the choice.

Go visit campuses both with your parents and then to an overnight stay at another time. By touring the campus you see what buildings they have and that there are students and classes there. By spending the night you get to see what students on campus are really like. I suggest doing it on a non-preview day because it will give you a better idea of what campus is normally like instead of always wondering if those students were just being nice to you because they knew it was preview day. Showing up at the college of your choice on your first day of orientation can be scary but say hi to people and don't be afraid to sit with people you don't know at lunch or dinner, hang out with your roommate(s) or suitemates or even other people from you building. Get to know the people who will be living around you and don't be afraid to get involved, but still make your school work a priority. Most of all make sure that you are balancing your time between classes, friends, and sleep, and don't forge to call home either! Good luck!
