The first time I heard about the Academy of Art, it was in the commercials but that only made me look it up. It had courses I was interested in so I had the school in mind but I thought I was most likely to attend a junior college then transfer to a university. When I mentioned the Academy of Art University a lot of people I know told me how good it was and than I had more interest in it. So my advice for finding the right college is to first research on what you?re going to study. Get a list of idea on what colleges your thinking of attending. Then get some word for people to see if the college your thinking of attending is good no matter if it?s a University or Junior College. After that, get some information and go to the campus to get a tour and more information from the students and faculty. Attending a school just for you can be hard but if you have good racecourses and luck you may achieve the first step on getting a career that's choosing the right school to get you there.

Mske sure the college has a variey of classes, and isn't focused on one degree.

I would tell parents to listen to their children and allow them to choose their own paths in life. They are the ones who will attend the school so they need to find one that will make them comfortable in the surrounding. Parents should allow their child to enjoy those experiences and be sure that they do but also keep that eagle eye on them at a distance.

I would recommend researching and visiting as many schools as possible before making your final choice. Really make sure it is the right school for you. Even ask people who went to a school, or people who know of people who went to a school, what they thought aboutit or what they got out of it,

They have to emphasize to their children that the choice they make for finding the right college has to be the right choice because that's going to be their life for a while, and changing their mind in the future will be a problem because they will have to start over from scratch.

Trust your child and know they are going there to better themselves, To become A better person like you always wanted to be. Let them decide on what type of enviorment they want to be in, because it differ amongst people.

There are three simple rules to choosing a college:
1) Location/Economy of the surrounding area
2) The mood of the students there (do they look happy, sad, stressed)
3) The reputation of the teachers

First off, make sure that the college is going to offer an great overall life-learning experience--academics, social, cultural etc... Also, the school needs faculty and staff that are enthusiastic and eager to work with students and parents to provide the best possible learning experience. The money factor is always an issue too. How much is the school going to cost in regards to the education being recieved is the key factor. If the education is deemed worth the cost, then the student's hard work and dedication will make it worth it--ultimately paying off the costs with a high paying, rewarding and fulfilling career. There are loans (private banks and government based) that are offered to help students and parents pay for secondary education. In the end, it boils down to the student: hardwork, dedication, motivation and persaverance are all needed to achieve success. Nomatter the cost of college, if a student has these qualities and embeds them into his/her schooling experience, the focal point of payment for the schooling should be seen not as more bills, but rather as a great investment.

Take your time, life isn't a race and a good education shouldn't be either.
