Find a college that is comfortable, one that you feel you can easily settle into. Do not have your heart set on only one college and carry a biased opinion, its better to be open and look at many different universities before making your decision. Some students tend to feel they need to be as far away from home as possible, but then realize when they're gone how much they miss home and end up only staying a semester or a year. An hour or two away is far enough to be able to have freedom from your parents but close enough to go home. Parents, this is your child's decision, not yours. Guide them, but don't tell them. If they chose only for you, they most likely wont chose correctly. Do not forget to look at extras, food, housing, hidden fees (weight rooms, parking, laundry), accessability and classroom size. If individualized attention is important to you chose a school where you can find that. Lastly, make sure the college or university you are wishing to attend has the major you are looking for and easy accessability into it's programs (nurses-nursing school).

Check out lots of different schools, because you can't tell which one might be best for you until you give it a good look.

Don't let the worry of your financial situation deter you from going to the school you love, there are ways of paying for your schooling.

Participate in activities during college, they are a great way to meet new people and new friends that could last a lifetime.

Pick a college that you feel comfortable at. Even though getting a good education is important, college is a time to have fun and make friends that will last forever.

Keep everything organized! It gets to be a lot once application forms and health forms and acceptance letters and fafsa forms start flying around. It's important to have an individual file for each college and a specific place for each form. Also, keep the doors open. Take advantage of scholarships and financial opportunities. You never know what may come through or what may happen. Conserve your money. Have fun, but be smart. It's easy to go out every weekend and spend your money on things that you may think you need, but in the end you're going to end up regretting throwing away your money. Work hard. Keep your grades up. Because the better your grades, the more opportunities that you will have. Have fun!
