As much as the process of finding the "right" college is a family decision, ultimately, the student is the one who will spend nearly four years of his or her life at the school that is finally selected. When you really do soul searching, and compare schools, environments, educational value and other factors, you will know in your heart what the best choice for you will be. College is tough; to make the adjustment to college life easier, it is best to find a college that fits your personality and learning style. If you are not comfortable on your visit to a selected college, you probably won't be comfortable living there either. And remember, college is NOT like it appears on TV shows; many hours of class and hard work is what you are there for, not for hanging around drinking coffee, partying and sleeping late. The college experience can be a great one if you make your initial decision thoughtfully and carefully.
