I would tell them to make sure that they feel comfortable at the school that they plan to attend, and the look at the programs available that would help them in their major.

Make sure you visit the college.Talk to a student that attends that college. Look up the history of that college and do not be afarid to ask the faculty questions that are important to you about that school. Once ,you are at that school ,network meet new people that are different to see and learn prespectives of life. This will help you to enjoy the college more.

I would give parents and student about finding the right college and making the most of the college experience is for the child to go to the college of her/his choice. Let it be their decision. If they are not happy then they want succeed or do well in college . So parents do try to live your dreams threw your child/children let them be free you have raise them. Have faith you have given them the right knowledge to make the right decision in life and things will go well.

First of all I would say once you've choosen a few colleges to apply to, visit them, because a school could have everything you're loking for , but you may not like where it's at, and even though that's not what you're going to school for it plays a big part in it, because no one wants to go to a school where you have to worry about your car getting broken into all the time or you can't take night classes because your are afraid to walk across campus at night just because it's in a bad neighborhood. We all know that the academics are the most important thing but look at everything else that comes with that school. Also I would say look at the the student to teacher ratio of the school. If you like not being noticed by your teacher then you might want a larger class size within the school , but if you like getting in good with your teachers you might want a school that has smaller class sizes, because when it comes down to it your teachers can be of the biggest help to you in school.

Knowledge of yourself is the most important part of identifying the RIGHT college. If you know who you are and what you want to accomplish, you are more apt to make the best decision about school. Knowing yourself allows you to base your collegiate decision on what major you are interested in, what social activities matter to you, how close you want to be to home, your ability to care for yourself, and your ability to live with/get along with others. These things are very important in choosing a school. You also have to be aware of your dedication, self-discipline, and responsibility. BE HONEST WITH YOURSELF! If you know that you are not very responsible or are easily distracted, you should choose a school that reflects those things. Visit the schools that you are interested in and speak with some of the students to get a true feel for the school. Make sure that the decision you make is one that you are sure about and is one that you make for yourself, not your parents or friends.

I would say visit every college while its in session and even go sit in a classroom, so that you can really get the feel, ask the dean if it would be okay to spend a few days on campus anything that will let you get the real scoop on the campus before you enrole.

I think it's important for parents and students to visit the campuses they are considering before they choose a college or university. When a student finally finds the university of his or her dreams, it is important to find at least one campus organization to participate in. While earning a degree it is also important to give back to the community in which your going to school so that you become apart of it, not just a visitor.

I would tell them to make sure they do a lot of research. Visit the school during the middle of the week when there are a lot of students on campus and more activities going on. Also to ask questions to current students. If the school allows visit a classroom of your perspective major to view class size, teaching style, etc. Most importantly do well in high school so that you may have schools competing for you!

Always visit a college before you actually enroll in it because if you just go on reputation you will probably get disappointed and you don't have to make alot of friends just a few good ones.
