Northwestern University Top Questions

I believe that the right college will find you, although it may be a school where you never expected you'd go. It is really important to get standardized tests out of the way as soon as possible, and to make sure that there is something on your resume that sets you apart. Select a school that has a lot of majors that interest you, so that if you attend and decide you don't like your intended major, you have options that please you.

Take your time...do not rush, it ruins the process. Go with what feels right

Although finding the right college is difficult, discovering it will change you life completely. When searching for prospective colleges, I think that students should find the college that fits them. This is difficult because coming out of high school you don't know really who you are, but you should decide by keeping in mind your career goals, finances, and academic motivation. Once you decide on your correct college, your experiences becomes critical. I think that you should explore different things and don't be afraid to do the unknown. I also think college students should just have fun. Academics are important but you should also have some relaxing times.
