Even if your kids go to school in their hometown MAKE them live in the dorms or they will NEVER understand college life.

The most important thing to remember when choosing a college to attend is whether or not you feel comfortable and happy there. No matter how hard course work may turn out to be later on, it will always be better if you feel at home and accepted at the college you're attending. Make sure to visit each university you're considering. If you walk onto one particular campus and instantly feel at home, you know you've found the right one.

Before deciding on a college, figure out what motivates you. Once you figure that out, find a possible profession that will allow you to focus your motivation toward goals that you set for yourself. Find a school that has a good program in what you want to do. The rest will work itself out.

I think that it was unfair of you to throw in that the winner will be determined by essay at the end of a time consuming survey. If you are going to have this be a determining factor it should be presented upfront not after someone has invested their time. o i would advice students and parents to find out the most the can about all the schools so they dont find themselves in a position where they are presented with a set of unforeseen circumstances. But i would challange the students to speak their minds and step up to the plate when they encounter those circumstances becuase they never know what good may come from it.

Visit the schools and consider everything housing, activities, class size, and financial aid

My one piece of advice would be to simply visit the campus. When you visit the campus follow your heart if it feels right and at home then it is the place for you. You are the only one that knows what that "home" feeling is.

take more than one campus visit, and drive around the city the college is located in to get the full feel of the school

Do what you want to do!! That is the most important thing!! Forget money, and all that other unnecesarry baggage. Do what you love to do, and don't worry about anything else!
