You should be very chosy about where you go and choose the school that feels right to you, not just because you got excepted there.

I would tell parents and students to take their time when choosing a college. Do not choose a college based on pictures or brochures, but visit all of the colleges that you are interested in and talk to the faculty and students that currently go there to find out what the school is really like. Also do not pick a college just because you like one thing about it but choose a place where you can see your self succeeding in your career and having fun and making life long friends. To make the most of your college experience, join different clubs and organizations and get our there and meet new and different people.

I think that they should defiently go visit the schools and talk to students who go there about their experiences at the school. While talking to students see if you feel comfortable, if you dont then its not the school for you. Go into college with an open mind and be willing to accept others who may not be like you, they could end up being your best friends. its ok to have fun, but know where to draw the line with having fun and getting your school work done. you are paying for your education and to attend the school, so go to your classes. most importantly be yourself.

Just look carefully, and be sure to visit the campus beforehand.

Get as much financial aid as you can and research scholarship oppurtunities.

look at classrooms, dorm rooms, eating facilities, surrounding town and transportation availability.

Go to a college that will not put you in debt for the rest of your life, like I am going to be. Most colleges offer the same kinds of things. And always go to class in order to succeed

Bloomsburg is a Good School!

First, I would say to go and visit the school because seeing it yourself can always make a difference. Also, see if you can meet with any of the professors in your intended major. This will give you an insight of what they will be like. Finally, talk to others. If you know other individuals that go to that school or did go they know best what it is like.

Find somehere far enough from home to create independence, but close enough that visiting for either the student or the parent is achievable. For the parents: Allow your kids to make mistakes and let them try to fix the problem on their own before rushing to their side. This is the time where kids discover their own indentity and it is important to let that develop naturally in an environment that allows them to become more resposible for day to day decisions. For kids: call your parents and tell them about your experiences, they want to know their hard earned money is being used to further educated their children
