Try to pick a good school for your child. Its not about partying and wasting money! The future is something that many college students do not take seriously but should.

I would suggest visiting the campus and spending a night or two in the dorms. It provides you with more insight as to what the campus will actually be like than simply talking to the admissions office. Ask questions of anyone and everyone and don't feel shy. Make sure that you spend time wisely once you get into college. Studying is important but it's not everything. Grades are important but they aren't everything either. Learning is what's really important, so make sure that you are learning and don't worry about the grade so much. Also make sure that you spend plenty of time with friends as studying all day will kill you.

Make sure you know yourself and what you really believe before you decide to go to a religious school. It makes a huge difference in your college career. Pick a place where you want to go, not just where your parents want to go. Those are probably the biggest pieces of advice I can give from my own experience.

Finding the right college is a huge deal. However, finding the right college is also a very exciting and wonderful time of life. Decide what kind of person you are. What are your interests? What do you want to major in, or study? Are you looking for a religious school or secular one? Will you be participating in extra curricluar activities? These are some of the questions to ask when you are considering a college. Once you have found colleges you like, apply, then choose which one is the best for you personally. College years are known as the best years of your life. So making the most of the experience is important. Right from the start, make as many friends as possible. Meet and spend time with as many people you can your freshmen year. This will get you plugged into campus life and the community. This will ensure your happiness and love for the college you attend, which is the most important aspect, aside from education.
