Deborah
Visit the school and be certain you can find extracurricular activities which interest you.
Michelle
Visit the campus and check out the surrounding areas.
Amanda
Visit every college you apply to. Also, remember that the experience is what you make of it. If you sit in your room and never leave, it isn't going to be fun. You need to make the best of the situation. Nothing just "comes " to you in college, including grades, friends, and a social life. Everything has to be worked on.

It is a small school where education is the main goal. The education recieved here is very detailed and better amoung other schools. After graduating the school ensures jobs and a start to a succesfull life.

Parents I would say to let your kids pick the college they want not based on how much it will cost but the quality of education and student involvement on campus. To a new student I would definately tell them to try out all different student organizations and classes because sometimes doing something you never thought you would can make all the difference and show you what you really enjoy learning about or doing. Ultimately college is a time to test the waters with all sorts of things and figure out who you are so go out of your comfort zone and really absorb yourself in the college atmosphere.

Check them all, go to them, and make sure its something the kid wants not what you want, you are not the one going to that school anymore even though you may want the best for them may not be what they want. Let them make there own decisions or they will rebel.
Bruce
Make sure you go and visit the college and sit in the classes to get a feel of how challenging the school will be for the first couple years. Also get ready to expand your mind, because college is a totally different experience than highschool. Some people can't handle huge schools and are better off at smaller schools. It's all preference.
Ellen
Remember that you are going to spend four years of your life at this place so make your choice count. Also remember that studies are important, but you need to enjoy this time of your life because this is the only time you are going to have like it! Just remember that life is all in the balance.
Camia
Make sure that whatever school you choice, it wil fit your learning style and personal needs.
