It is never too early to consider your options for a field of study. If you have already found your forte this should help narrow your choices in selecting the best colleges for your career. A common influence for college selection is cost. In my experience the decision was based upon the quality of education for my particular area of interest, while equally considering the cost. Having well-known friends attending the same college may be alluring in your college choice but maintaining a focus on quality of education with an opportunity of meeting new people is a key element of the college experience and will help in building your networking skills for the future.

The ultimate goal of college is to provide and develop the tools necessary for success in a professional career. Decisions based on that principle will augment your college experience and professional career for life.
