College is one of those times that seems so important when you start out. It is so very important, but it's important to remember that no matter what happens and where you end up, college will be a brand new experience and you will learn no matter where you go. There is almost no such thing as a "bad-fit" college, students just aren't looking hard enough for the life that they want. Students, no matter where you go, make the most of it and live without regret. You will make tons of new friends and learn so many new things in and out of the class. Where you go almost ceases to matter after a while. Parents, your kids are adults now, and it's important to let them make this first huge decision of their adult lives. Don't fret if they don't get in to the college you have picked out for them, almost all college have a life-changing, adult-making effect on almost all students. Remember that choosing where to go to college is the most important choice you can make that won't matter in the end anyway.
