When looking for the right school for students applying to college as freshmen. Students should assess the things that thye find important. They should look into the academic recognition of the school, the quality of the athletic teams, the location, the class sizes, if the University is public or private, and if it is a small or large university. They should then weigh what they feel to be most important. Then grade each choice on a scale of 1 to 10. I feel like really putting your options out there based on your own preferences is the only way to choose your school. The place that becomes your home after high school, and where you will meet your real lifelong friends.

Its okay if your child does not know what want to do, give it time and they will find themselves. Visit all the universities that you have true interest in before you commit and live on campus the first year. Get a bank account through the bank the school is affiliated with. TO make the most of college, just take your time and be serious and focused on your grades. Plan to study abroad for a semester/summer. Become friends with at least 2 of your professors in your future major. ALWAYS ASK QUESTIONS! You only know what you seek to know! Time management is of the essence and learn to budget early. Set your goals, research your goals; get some hands on experience in your goals to see if it fits your interest. Be willing to work hard for what you want, especially that A in Calculus! NEVER, NEVER, NEVER stop calling your parents and tell them how you are doing and whats new in your life. Parents speak about safety and STI's and dangers of unprotected sex. Be SMART/ WISE from now on. YOU CAN DO IT! Respect yourself and others will do likewise!

make sure itrs where you want to spend the next four years. dont go somewhere because its where everyone is going.. make sure it is the place the suits you and your wants and needs. for instance if you love college sports and you want to experience football season, go to a school that excel in athletics. "Or if you want to major in a certain area... make sure the school can accomidate your needs.

Think about the career you want to pursue. Think about what it is you are looking for and which institution can help you accomplish your goal more effectively and open up more doors for you. Don't pick a college because all your friends picked that school. Do your own research, don't go along with what you hear from others. If possible visit the schools and talk to a few advisors or school officials and ask questions.

I believe when selecting the right college, students should really go for what school will provide the right atmosphere and academics for what major or interests that they intend to pursue. Simply choosing a school because many high school friends are attending it is never a good idea nor is enrolling in a college when you honestly feel as though it is not right for you. It takes a combination of both heart and mind when selecting the perfect university. It is a major step and parents should guide and not place extreme pressure their child's choice since this can be a very hard decision for a young mind. Finally, once a school has been selected, ALWAYS get involved. You never knows the connections and bonds that you might be missing out on if you make no effort in engaging in student life and organizations. In the end, college can be one of the most fulfilling and exciting times in a person's life. You can't afford to waste one minute of it!

Visit the school and think about what size school you want.
