My advice would be to visit all or most colleges the student is interested so that they would get a feel of the environment and get their questions answered by those who attend the college or university. After the visits, apply to the colleges that appealed to the student the most. When acceptance letter's come, choose the school that best fits the individuals goals and personality. To make the most out of the college experience, definitely live in the dorms; the student will be able to learn about people from different places and different backgrounds. He or she will be able to learn how to be independent. When the student comes home, it will be a wonderful moment because he or she will be able to appreciate the little things in life such as home-cooked meals, spending time with friends and family, and just being home. When we are exriencing the college experience, the little things in life become some of the big, important things in life. Get involved in clubs and organizations that fit your personality. Work hard, enjoy the college life, and give yourself a chance to grow in any way possible.
