When looking into colleges make sure that you do an adequate amount of research. Visit the campus as much as you can before the student actually will be attending, talk to advisors, professors and students. Take tours of the college campus, the class building as well as the housing facilities, and get a handbook on the college and look through it carefully.

Michele

I believe that it is always best to shop around. I think that future students need to visit multiple colleges or universities before making a final decision. Also, I think that they should pick a college or university that has options when it comes to courses. This is best for when students decide to change their majors. Also, speaking to current students and faculty is always an excellent resource. They truly know the college or university best and are usually brutally honest.

Choose a school not for one thing choose it because it has everything you want. Its going to be a place for you to learn and borden your mind. As well as a place for you to have fun with plays, sports, clubs, dances, and events. It has to be a place you feel apart of a place where you will make friends for life. The school you choose should challenge you a little and make you step outside your comfort aone. And most importantly you get the best education. Because no matter what you can have everthing taken away from you, but you will always have your knowledege!
