I would advise both parents and students that The most important thing to consider when choosing a school is weather the student can see him self living there for four yrs. This is important because it is important to you the student to be happy. This will allow you to be focused on your task at hand and really benefit from everything the school has to offer. All Schools provide an opportunity for and education but you want to make sure that opportunity is not at the expense of your happyness. Find the school that best suits you and your personal needs. When you make a choice ask your self when i get my degree will you also take with you fond memories and life long friendships or will you just have a degree and a plain ticket on the first thing smokin out of town...

Find a college that u like, look at the campus. SEE IF THEY HAVE THE MAJOR THAT U WANT, AND ASK A STUDENT THAT HAS THE SAME MAJOR AS YOU AND ASK THEM HOW THEY LIKE IT. Look at the food that they serve, look at the dorms, if u like sports ask about the athletic program at the college. Talk to some of the students that attend the college currently and ask them how they like it.

I think that the number one secret in finding "the right college", is one that meets the academic, social, and career goals of a student. You can check out all of the college brochures, college Web sites, and college-planning resources you wish, but choosing the right college boils down to a few things: primarily personality and goals. In today's world, academic reputation has become important to families. But just because a college has a good academic reputation doesn't mean it's the right one for you. There are thousands of colleges that provide students with a quality education even if they don't make national ranking lists. Before selecting a school you should be able to answer the following questions without hesitation: 1. Is this a good place to start 2. Location (safe/poorly secured) 3. What job-placement services does the college provide? 4. Is financial aid availiable if needed 5. Are there social and extracurricular activities that appeal to your interests? Also before applying to a college, visit the campus. It's the only way to get a true picture of the atmosphere and to answer some of your questions.

I would like to tell all parents and students to make sure they visit and consider all colleges that are offering a valuble education.

Once I looked at other options I found a university that best fit my learning style and my personality. Try to for any scholarships you can!!
