I would have to say think long and hard about where you want to go, don't just take the first brocher that comes in the mail and if its a school go to it. You should be researching what school you want to go to from the begining of you junior year till the the end of it and be submitting aplications but the summer before your senior year. during your senior year it is the time that you go and visit those colleges that you sent applications to and then waiting for the acceptance letters. then you also need to weigh weather you can afford any of these colleges wether it be with a loan or out of pocket these are important decisions.

I would tell students to START EARLY. You can never take enough time finding a place that's right for you. Students should visit several campuses, not just one. They should also talk to current students and alumni- NOT just staff. Check out the housing options both on and off campus even if you're planning to live in one or the other because plans change. Also, if students are planning on transferring to another school after getting a certain degree or taking certain classes, they should be sure that most of their credits are transferrable and accepted by most colleges. As a parent, I couldn't stress involvement enough- especially if they had attended college. It's helpful to have the experience of an adult behind you when you're choosing a place to live or figuring things out financially. They should also be involved with loan paperwork so the student doesn't get themselves into financial trouble. Overall, I'd say when you think you've found the right place, visit at least one more college to make sure you're doing the right thing.

If you have a career in mind, this college is right for you. It gives the perfect amount of training in as little time as possible. However, you need to be committed to learning in order to succeed. If you just do the work that is required of you in the time it is required, college will be fun AND easy.

I have only been attending college for a year and have bearily scratched the surface of my chosen field, making it hard to tell anyone that this college or anyother for that matter perfect for their field of study. My suggestion would be to ask you're self what you want out of college. I have chosen to focus many on getting my degrees at a fair price. With that in mind I have given up the oppertunity to participate in college sports by my choice of school. That is extremely important to some who are going to college so make sure when you are looking at a school, it has all the extracariculars you are expecting to experience. The other main thing and perhaps more important than anything else is to check what kind of experience you're teachers have. I would be leary of a school with professors who only learned about what they teach out of a book. To some that may be ok, but teachers with real world experience seem to have a better understanding of just what you need in you're carriculum to be affective in you're field of study.
