Make sure that you visit the campus before you commit go attending, and go around campus on your own, not on a tour, to get a feel for what the students are like. If you have no idea what you want to major in, go to a bigger school rather then a more specalized school so you can find out what you reall want to do with your life.

Visit the college that you're looking at and be rather sure in what field you want to go in, not specifically but as an example: Business, Engineering, Pre-med etc. so that you can choose the school that can best fit your needs. An all around school is okay if you don't know what you want to do, but it is much better to go to a specialized school and get the most out of your education.

Talk to the current students and alumni before making a definite decision.

Every student need to find their own way through school and what works best for them. There is no set path for students to follow and each sudent will eventually. Also if you struggle at first do not become frustrated you would be surprised to find how many other students are in your exact same posiition. So if you are struggling try changing up your routine until you find what works best for you because when it is all said and done if you want to succeed you will find a way to do it.

More then anything focus upon your classwork and enjoy the experience. If your not sure of your major choose a school that is diverse in degrees.

Go with your gut. Figure out what makes you feel most comfortable and after seeking out schools with those qualities choose which one feels right or you gravitate toward.

Go with your gut feeling
Nate
Make sure to visit the college and walk around campus both with a guide and without to see how students there look. Are they happy? Sad? Are they the kind of people you think you would get along with? The most important thing is to have a good base of friends to get you through the year.

When you are looking for a college, the most important thing is to find a place where you can feel at home. You have to be able to find a group of friends that not only accept your specific piece of geekdom, but embrace it. Never go somewhere that changes who you are.

Depending on what you wnat to do with your life makes a big impact on what college you should go to. In my experience Colorado School of Mines is a school for people who know exactly what they want and are willing to work extremely hard until they graduate. If you are unsure what you want to do i suggest community college for a couple of years until you can figure it out. Otherwise check out the colleges you think are right for you and do the tours ask around, just don't jump to a conclusion unless you are sure.
