WHEN CHOOSING A COLLEGE, I WOULD CONSIDER SOMETHING CLOSE TO HOME FOR YOUR FIRST YEAR. IT WILL HELP WITH FINANCES AND THE POSSIBLE CASE OF HOMESICKNESS, EITHER IT BE YOU OR YOUR PARENTS. ALSO CONSIDER A SCHOOL THAT OFFERS THINGS THAT INTEREST YOU.

The advice I would give to parents and students about finding the right college is know the school. There are a few things one should know about a school such safety, location, finances, interests, environment, cultural attributions, academic rank, and specific professors. Also, life your life to the fullest because you only get one chance to enjoy yourself.

Location! Location! Location! Location is so crucial to your overal happiness and experience. Location determines what sort of lifestyle you lead when not in class. Although class is the reason you're going to college, you learn just as much if not more about yourself and life outside of the classroom. Decide what types of things are important to you in a city. Regardless of what school you choose to attend for academic reasons, if you fail to put yourself somewhere that you're going to be happy then you've really missed out on the college experience. On that note, getting the most out of your college experience is easy. Take as many classes as you can without overworking yourself, and GO TO CLASS! Half of the work is just going to class. Electives are great things! It gives you the opportunity to learn something of you're choice. Don't go home every weekend! Spend time with friends and live a healthy social life...this is the only way to come into your own. Find things that you're passionate about, and get involved in those things. Work, Learn, and Have Fun! Welcome to College!

Do some research. Try to schedule college days during junior and senior year so that your child can get a feel of what the college has to offer before he or she decides on which college to choose.

I would say that the best thing I did was to visit each college that you are most interested in and spend some time on the campus. This will allow you to experience the environment of each college and help you decide where you are most comfortable.

I would say that when choosing the right college you have to keep in mind your goals for college. Choose a college that bests fits all aspects of your life such as distance, major, money, college rating, things of this nature.

Visit the campus more than once. Be sure to talk toother students in you field. Meet with different professors and also some of the administration. Visit the library and look at currrent and recent past programs of study. Be sure to ask about career placement, internship programs and other student enrichment opportunities.
