College is all about discovering who you are. It's your chance to learn what you want. How do you choose the right college? This can be tough, but I would say choose one that's the most affordable for you so you aren't always stressing about money. If money is not a problem, make sure the college you choose is in a location that has activities and landscapes that you like or are interested in. If you aren't happy about where you are living, chances are you won't do as well in school. Don't worry about leaving your friends, this is a new chapter of your life to make new friends and learn new things. When you are a freshman it is easy to make friends because everyone is looking for new friends too. Take all the classes you are interested in your first year to make sure that your major is still your number one choice. Make sure you take advantage of all the college has to offer like going to their gym and tutoring session. Most important have fun, because this is your chance to make life what you want it to be!

I would tell the students to find a college that was the right academic persute that they wnat. If the student wants to study business then make sure that the college was a strong business program. Make sure to talk to current students and get their opinion on the business program.

parents-don't try to convince your child where to go because they will go where they please. students-listen to your parents advise and compare your options. you will find that by comparing sometimes your first choice isn't the best choice. and don't go to a certain college because all your friends are going to be there. going to a new school means new people to meet and new lifetime friends.
