College is hard emotionally and physically. The most important thing is having staff that truly care about the overall well being of each student.

Finding the right college for you can be difficult and frustrating. The best advice I can give is to visit as many colleges as possible. Visit all of the ones you are thinking about attending. Everything looks different on brochures and online pictures. You must see them for yourself. Ask tons of questions! Parents too! College is a big decision that will change the rest of your life. It is important to be as informed as possible. Beware of colleges that are calling and pressuring you to choose them. That is a red flag! Do not let them talk you into their school. Their school should do that itself. What I did was this: I wanted to go to school for Fashion, so I found two schools I liked and I visited them both in a matter of two days. Then, my parents and I sat down and wrote down pros and cons of both schools. This helped me make my decision. I have one last piece of advice; know what you want to do! If you don't know, do research. It is a waste of time and money going to school and not knowing your major.

The most important thing that a student can do to find the right college is to research early and often. Trying to base college based solely on convenience can cause trouble in other realms of school such as acadamia. Look at every aspect of the school and choose carefully. Once you are in a school, it can be hard to transfer to another college. This may cause you to have a later graduation date and cause timing problems for a student in the future.

Research, and talk to students and advisors from each school and lay out the pros and cons of each school!

Parenst of future college students need to make sure that the college that he or she plans on attending has all the qualities that he or she is looking for. college is an experience that will last a life time, and if you a college thats not meant for you, you'd have missed out on an oppurtunity of a life time. College isn't just an educating experience it's also a time for a person to learn and understand there self more. So when picking a college look at the enviroment it's in, the students that surround it and the teachers that are in every classroom before makeing a decision on any college that is planned on attending.

The advice I would give people about finding the right colleges is first figure out what college experience you want. Then take the time to know what colleges are known for, do research and know the colleges strengths and weaknesses and what they are most known for, but make sure that it matches up with your goals and what you want out of your college experience. Take a tour of the college and ask questions, try to gain as much information as possible, and if you feel comfortable and can see yourself there, and your goals match up then that college may be a perfect fit!
