nothing

Sarah

Find a place where you can feel comfortable and you know you will be able to make new friends without changing yourself first.

Jon

Go do what you dream about

Megan

Go somewhere that you instantly feel at home. Dont think that you will get used to it. If you dont like it the minute you get there its not for you. Your gut and intuition are rarely wrong. Look for a school that promotes the values and morals that are important to you because those are things that will be hard to change on either end. Focus on things outside of the classroom as well. Look at the camous enviroment, the town, the life of the town. If these things do not fulfill requirements that you need and/or want then its not the place for you. But most importantly just look for a place that will allow you to grow and become your own person because that is a feeling that will surpass anything that you learn in a classroom. Just remember that you are a pretty awesome person. You just have to unleash that and come into your own. Good luck and have fun.

Pick a college where you feel the most comfortable going. Pick one that is going to give you the best education and is the most affordable. No matter where you go you will meet some of the best friends ever.

Get a list of schools that you would like (either by presige cost, location, ect.) then apply and visit all of them. As for being in college try to find a balance of fun and work that works for you, but don't just let the school work go early so you have a hole to climb out of later.

Go visit the college and make sure you like the campus.

Katherine

I've been at a "prestigious" school and one considered less prestigious. The school in which I liked the best was the one where the students did not feel like they owned it because of what they did in high school. Pick a school that lets you excel, look at the professors and the staff instead of the enrollment statistics.

Dori

Find a college that gives you the experience you want. You can go to school because you get scholarships and realize that the school wasn't right for you. Visit the places you choose to go and make sure they're the kind of people that you want to get to know. You'd be surprised the differences in attitude from state to state. Make sure that you are getting into a group of people or culture that you want to be in, because it's a pain to change.

Sara

Find the college that best suits you, you want to feel at home, otherwise the college experience will be ruined by your inability to make friends.
