Pick a college that is right for YOU. Don't listen to where your friends are going, and don't feel like you need to go where your friends go. As long as you interact yourself with groups on Campus and do as much as you can you will make other friends at your university. I would tell any college student to definitely be involved! That is the key to enjoying your years in college. Go to sports games, join groups, fraternities and sororities. Do what you want to do! Experience things that you haven't ever done while being at your highschool. You will be surprised at how much you learn by just branching out and getting involoved!

Advice that I have for parents and/ or students about finding the right college and making the most of the college experience is to research all the schools that you are considering. Make sure that the particular schools that you are considering have your major that you want to pursue and that is affordable. Parents and/ or students you also want to visit the colleges that you are considering to make sure that you are completely satisfied with the particular college of your choice. As a college student, you want to make sure that you that you keep yourself active by getting involved in extracurricular activities and by making new friends that will encourage you to do well in your studies.

Students should plan to visit various colleges to get a feel of what school you prefer to attend. The college visitation process is essential in selecting a school. The student can attain a bundle of helpful information that may or may not have been available through word of mouth. It is a great experience to interact with students at the school and faculty alike. Although students become over joyed with their first college experience students tend to forget their priority reason for attending. After students are accepted into the university it is very important that they continue to excel in thier classes so they may reap the benefits of graduating and receiving an authentic college degree. Making the most of your college experience prepares you for the majority of your future endeavors. It is wise for a student to take advantage of the friends, knowlegde, and overall challenge of college to better themselves accordingly.

I think it is very important to take campus visits to the colleges your student is intrested in. Make sure the school has the degree program you are interested in, and has a good reputation about it. And as far making the most out of the college experience, i say have the time of your life. this is the last bit of childhood you get, after college your in the real world. Meet as many people as possible and hangout with them, get to eachother. You can never have enough friends. also i recomened that all students come to their school with a sense of pride and spirit. college is what you make it, have the time of your life.
