Go spend a couple of days at the college you are looking at. If you know someone who is there already, see if you can stay with them. Attend a couple of classes, if okay with their instructors. Attend some social events and meet different professors, students, and staff. To make the most of your experience, get involved. Join a group that interests you or play an intramural sport. Be active on campus.

I would tell them that anything you want is possible. That there is a school out there for everyone, if you are not satisfied with where you're going or where your at keep looking. There is a university that will attend to all your needs and completely satisfy you. Don't worry about paying to much for your education or being in debt, if you try hard and work at accomplishing your goals, it will all be worth it in the end. I like to stick to the saying " Dont tell us the sky's the limit, because there's footprints on the moon. Do what it is you most desire and find the place that fits you best; where people accept you for who you are and you feel comfortable being who you are around them.

Finding the right college is one of the most important decisions you have to make. College is the time that you find out who you are, who your friends are, what you're going to do with your life, and much more. My advice about finding the right college is to make sure it's YOUR decision. Not your parents, friends, counselors, or coach. You are the one that will be attending, and it's the place that you will be creating memories that will last a lifetime. If it's a place you can not afford, something will work itself out. My advice for making the most of the college experience is to try everything and don't judge. When you open your eyes to new experiences, you learn so much about life. Go into things with a smile, because you'll never get that opportunity back again. My two years at college have gone by so fast already, and sometimes I wish that I could have some of those moments back. Live with no regrets.
