Dont be afraid to have an open mind and try new things. You only get one chance to live these years, make the most of out of them. But also dont forget to be yourself, dont change who you are to just fit in. Follow your goals and dont give up. Learn from your mistakes and be kind to others. Your experience at any college is going to be what you make it. So make the most that you can out of every day that you have. Going to college is a lucky opportunity that you have in front of you, so people dont get that opportunity-so do all that you can with it.

When looking for a college, make sure to choose what you really want, four years of your life will be spent there. Make sure that you will recieve a good education and opportunties to make something positive of your life. Regardless of where you attend parties will be present, don't be afraid any college will have a lack of people to meet and things to do. Believe it or not, everything your parents said about money being scarce is true., so scholarships and the ability to find a job are very important. Big schools can be a lot of fun, but the smaller the campus the better chance you have of feeling in a close and caring community. The next four years are what you make of it, you will spend this time shaping yourself into the person that will enter the real world.

Go with your gut instinct. The feeling you get when you first walk on a campus says a lot about whether or not that school is the right one for you. Pay attention to the kinds of students you see and try to pick out a group of people you could see yourself hanging out with. Make sure you know if you want to go to a big school or a small school, and make sure the school is at the right academic level for you. Once chosing a college, just have fun. College is a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Be sure to socialize and make as many connections as you can, but don't forget to focus on your academics! It can be hard to balance school work and social life, but anyone can do it if they just try.

In order to find the right college you just have to knwo what you want before you start visting colleges. Do you want a big school or a small school? Do you want a school where you can focus on school as well as extra curricular activies? As long as you can answer these types of questions you should be able to find the college for you. Also when you go to visit colleges, one should stick out and just feel right for you. You should be able to picture yourself there. Good luck with finding the best college for you!

Don't settle for a school you're not completely happy with. Having a bigger loan will be worth it if you'll be happier at a more expensive school. Take into account the size of the school, don't go to a school that won't fit your personality well.

When going into the college search, it's beneficial to know two things: what you want to do after graduation and who you want to be. If you know both of those things when searching for a school, you are one of the few lucky ones because that will make finding your college much easier. However, if you are anything like me and didn't know either of those things, looking for colleges that foster that knowledge will be the most rewarding. Perhaps it is because I go to Salve Regina that I give this advice for our school is rooted in self-discovery and understanding. Life is much more enjoyable and worthwhile the more you get to know yourself, and a school whose students and faculty that are accepting of that can only make the experience more fulfilling. When looking for a college, the mission statement is where I started. If it speaks to you, that can make all the difference. Once you find the right college and want to have the best experience, know yourself and embrace it, the rest will fall into place.

Over night experienes probably give a prospective student the most amount of information about the campus. Look at as many schools as possible and go to a state school if they have your major!!

Jenna

I would advise parents and students to visit every school and ask the students who go there lots of questions about what they feel is the most important part of college. I would also stick with one activity to partake in at school and make sure they have a sufficient enough program to have fun and enjoy through the four years or however many years of attendance.
