The advice I would give students about finding the right college is knowing what they are looking for in a college. It is important for the student to figure out if they would rather have large lectures or a small classroom. It is also important for a student to determine the environment they wish to be in, if it be a small city or out in the country. Another thing that students need to conicder is the type of people that will be attending the college and if theywill feel as if they fit in. Although academics are the most important thing about college, the social aspect is very important to your sucess. As for making the most of the college expirence, the advice I would give is to get involved on campus. Getting involved is a great and easy way to make many friends and to feel as if you are part of the community that you will be living in. It is a way to get connected to your peers and staff. Feeling connected at school is one of the most important things to you can do to make your college expirence both enjoyable and successfull.

Make sure they like the atmosphere surrounding the college because it is not only the academic purpose of choosing the college. You will need to enjoy yourself socially as well or you will not be happy and perhaps may hate college.

Michael

I would tell them to pick the college they feel accomodates them most. The college should bring the best out of the person and allow them to reach their maximum potential. It should provide them with everything they want because they are paying an incredible amount of money. I would also tell them to try many different things, but keep a balance with your social life and academic life. They should also make themselves known to all their professors they have and even the ones that are in their major. Great advice is also to learn the area the school is near and travel around. The last piece of advice I would give would be to travel outside the country because it is the easiest to do during school.

Susan

I would try to visit as many schools as you can. It was only after visitting my school that I knew I wanted to go there.

Plan ahead financially, coming out of school with over 150,000 dollars of debt isn't a good start for anyone, no matter what school they plan to attend. For students, keep a goal in your head at all times, this will help you remember why you are at college and help keep your grades up.
