Start as early as possible, look for and apply for any scholarships, grants etc. Also, always fill your FAFSA out before Jan 31st. for the following fall.

DO NOT GO TO THIS SCHOOL!!!!! Worst mistake I have ever made.

Make sure it's the one you want. That it has everything your looking for to pursue your dreams. Don't base your decision on what others think or wnat, it's what you want!

Make sure the students understand that if they go to a big school there will be loud music and people all the time so it will be difficult to study especially not being used to that envirement. If they go to a small school it might be extremely boring and could give the kid depression issues again if he isn't used to that envirement. I also seem that leaving your door open in the dorm allows to make new friends easily.

When finidng the right fit it is important to make sure that you feel comfortable and at home on your campus because that is where you will be living for the next 4 years of your life. If the campus has a comfortable setting then you are more likey to do well in school because you are not as tense and would be more comfortable getting the help you need. The location of a campus is also important because that will determine what your social life will be like...will you go out on the town on the weekends or will you hangout at dorm room parties? The feel and setting of a college campus are extreamly important factors when making a decission of where to go to school.

Visit school when it's in session, talk to students. Find out what people do for fun and what variation of social groups are on campus.

Do not choose Southern New Hampshire University.

Parents and students that are trying to find the right college need to visit at least five different schools that are located in different areas. While visiting those schools students need to talk to current students and find out what current students like and dislike about their campus. I suggest taking notes about what you personally like about the campus and compare it with what current students opinions are. Also talk to professors in your major and maybe even sit in a class that is in session because class size and the way the class is run does matter!
Once you have chosen a college to attend, you have to make the most of your experience. Talk to your roommate prior to getting to move in day, but keep in mind that your roommate does not have to be your best friend! Keep an open mind and give everyone a chance to become your friend, you can never have too many while in college! Also, remember to always keep focused on your school work, you are in college to have fun but the main reason is to get an education!
