Daniel Webster College Top Questions

From a career perspective I would say pick a cheap accredited and respected school, unless you want to become a doctor or a lawyer it really doesn't make much of a difference with school you go to so there is no point in spending a lot of extra money. Next I would strongly advise only larger schools, they will offer many more opportunities for you of every kind from academic to social. The few benefits small schools offer simply do not out weigh how limiting they can be.

Find a small school so your a person not a number

Make sure you search a college not just for the learning experience but for the life experience you want to have too.

The only advice I would give to students about finding the right college is to give yourself options. Go and visit different colleges as many times as you need. Do not limit yourself to one college that you didn't even visit. There are many different types of schools with different types of atmospheres, you will not know what you like until you get out there and check it out. As for parents with kids going to school, my advice for them would be to keep an open mind. Your always going to be a phone call away if they need you. Students need to find what they are good at and it might take them a few trys to get it right. Just help them out and be there for them if and when they fall. Failure isn't perminate, it's just a way to know that they are doing something wrong and they need a change.

In order to find the right college there are several steps that can be taken to limit the number of colleges you apply to. First make sure that the college offers the degree you are looking to achieve, then decide whether you want to go to a big college or a small college. See what type of non-school related events that have there, and always make sure that you visit the college before you go there. In order to make the most of your college expierence you must participate in the college events, if not you will most likely be spending time in your room watching tv, or playing games all by yourself.
