Advice for parents and students when looking for the right college is research. Make a list of schools that interest you and research them. Find three to five things that you want in a college and narrow them down to maybe two or three schools. Networking is a good form of research. Talking to students that attend the school of your choice could help you decide whether the school is right for you. Narrowing the schools down to your top three schools helps when it comes to college visits and student orientation because there are fees you must pay. College visits are a big part of the researching process. Orientation helps to give you a little taste of the environment, other students, and the faculty and staff, not to mention the food. At orientation you meet other new students and you can make new friends, you might even meet your roomate. As for making the best of your college experience join clubs and organizations and go to school sponsored events, they give away alot of free stuff!

1.Visiting the college is a MUST. The ambiance of a place can play a bug role in your enjoyment. Once you have selected your school. 2. GET INVOLVED! You will possibly meet life long friends, and even future spouses while in college. Also, its a way to ease the feeling of being homesick.

Finding the right college is a mixture of finding a place with good teachers and a good environment as well as a focus on the field of study that you're focusing on, and most importantly a place where you can have fun . While good teachers (that is, teachers that are actually engaged and interesting; teachers that care about their students and are enthusiastic over what they're teaching) are a vital part of a good college education, outside factors are very important as well. A school environment that encourages you to grow and doesn't place unneeded pressure upon you is vital. There's enough pressure during finals as is, why put up with extra pressure? Having fun also impacts your education. Chances are if you're all work and no play you're going to get burned out. College is your last opportunity to relax before starting a career, and wasting the four years you have without engaging in social activities is something most people would regret. So, a good college is a place with enthusiastic and professional teachers where you can have fun and not feel pressured that will teach you what you need to know.

the only thing that I could tell you is to seek out all posible financial aid oportunities. every person in this country has the ability to go to college, they just have to seek out those oportunities and take advantage of what is out there for them. work hard to earn your degree and ensure that you put forth all your efforts, the only way to get ahead in this life is to get an education. just remember that education is the key.

Find the college that is best for and not because someone says so. Do not find a school because they say they will give you this nd that for financial aid because they wont.
