Really take the time to research the schools and think about a lot of different aspects of the school, such as social life and the location, as well as academics. Visit many campuses to get a feel of what you like and try to ask as many students as you can hat the school is like. Try to have a few specific questions in mind that are important to you.

I have heard many students say, "I was unsure of what school to attend, but I know I made the right choice in attending..." Most students will declare that their school is chose beyond all schools. They are right. When choosing a school, find a school that has your major if interest and allows you to be you. I choice my school because of athletics. This is not the same for everyone. Whatever the reason maybe to attend a school, or if you have two schools to choice from just make a decision. When you finally make that choice, run with it. You will find that no matter what school you choice, it will be great; as long as you choice to succeed in all that you do.

tour the campus before you go. Go where you feel comfortable.

Selecting a college is something to take seriously. If you are unsure in the begining, choose a school that has alot of major choices. make it a priority to visit the campuses you are considering to see how you like the environment, and talk to a financial aid counselor to help figure out what you can afford early on. Once you get to campus, get involved in an activity or within your major, such as with research in order to get to know people, this is especially important if you don't live on campus. Try not to get too stressed out, but be serious with your class work. Enjoy this time and explore!

Don't always go with the big name...it may only be a name.

I would tell them to visit many schools and make sure it's the right shool. Try to talk to as many students as possible to see how they like the school and to talk to the faculty.

Sometimes you just have to choose a college and try it out for a semester. It is easy to transfer and every college has a different feel to it. As long as it has the major you want to choose, give it a try.

First of all, location is key. I chose to attend a university close to home, and I could not be happier with my choice to do so, however everyone has different thoughts on this issue. Many students choose to attend universities far from home and end up later regretting it, and many choose universities close to home and regret it. Choose a college where you feel comfortable with your surroundings, the facility, the professors. It may seem scary at first, but find these things out before making a decision. College is a major step in an individual's life, and it is crucial to know you are going somewhere you will feel accepted and where you believe you will do well socially, academically, and physically. Make sure to always expect study time because yes, it is college, but make sure to also make social time. College is all about learning how to balance time and energy. Study hard, enjoy meeting new people, go to class, attend on campus activities, keep your head high, do not let go of your dreams, and have fun! Just remember to keep your priorites set, and don't forget about that diploma awaiting you!
