I think that most students look at college as a time to just party, but I think they need to focus on what school offers the best education for whatever career path they want to take. The more options they have, the better their experience will be in college.

Pick a school with same departments that speak to you.
Just go, no matter what! Even if its community college...Then work your butt off to transfer.
Make the most of it; get involved

Support their kods and encourage them to be better than they may think they are.

The advice I would give parents or students about finding the right college and making the most of college experience would have to be going on a campus tour when classes are in session. Having a tour of the atmosphere and seeing the campus enviornment is important but having the feel of the campus while in session gives you the whole ordeal of how you would experience day to day on campus.

Some advice I would give students about finding the right college for them is to check out the campus during an actual term and see how the life on campus is.

I would advise them to ask friends and family about their collegiate experiences, and also do extensive research to consider their future career and how the college of their choice might respond to that. Research on the aesthetic and social aspects and surrounding neighborhood of the college is important also - your child doesn't want to be miserable because of his/her surroundings, or loneliness, or even because of their outright hatred for those around them.

I would say its very important to evaluate all of the options. Don't be opposed to the idea of going to a really great junior college if you dont get into the school you want.

My advice would be to go visit the school you are planning to attend and go check out the area surrounding it. I believe that if the area that is surrounding the school you like, is not something you like, then you will not have a great time at your school. The surrounding area is very important because when you are not in school where you are stressing about grading and such, you must find a place of comfort and if the are surrounding you is not comfortable then you will be stressed out the whole time you are in college and that is not a good thing.

Apply to as many schools as possible, the ones you get accepted to, go check them out and then decide.
