When finding the right college there are several things that you and your family should take into consideration. First is the college it self a good college, is the college best for you. Is the college acessible to you and your family. Choosing colleges you might want to consider the cost and the surrondings. Where the colloge is located. What kind of programs do they offer for freshmens, and what requirements to get in to the school. There finacial aid department and where it is located what kind of programs does this school offer. What is there philosphy for the school.

I would tell parents even though your child is gone off to college still keep intact with them, still make sure they are doing what they are suspose to do because in college it is so easy to get side tract ecspecially when parents aren't over your shoulders telling you what to do and what not to do. for the students the way to pick the best school is go to the campus walk around meet with teachers, students, and advisors just to get a feel of the people and the environment, always surround yourself with a good environment because you are what u are around if you are in a bad environment you will have negative outlooks vs you being in a good environment with poistive outlooks. college experience give you a chance to be independent and on your own it gives you a since of responsiblity. You also meet people from all different walks of life. Enjoy yourself but at the same time don't forget why you there, to learn and grow into your future careers never place that aside, it's your first priority.

DO as much research as you possibly can. Dont attend a school because you like a building or family legacy attended there. Just remeber to keep focused on the education, and make the best out of any school attended.

I would tell them make sure its someone you want get tired of because sometime its easy to get tired of school because of what you are dealing with outside school plus the work load and school as a whole so choosing a school you want to be careful do picking a school is deciding whether you want to have a baby its a big responsiblity and you dont want to pick anything you want to do and pick the best as you would for a child. Think responsible and broad for you can get the best results. Because the turn is going to be worth it in the in.

My advice would be to visit the college and ask students who attend that college what it is like. And if you know you would be homesick I recommend you go to a college closet to you and affordable

Balance yourself and do participate in activities. You will never get another chance to do so, or it will never be the same. Also, go where you really want to but at the same time go where they offer the most to take care of you and give you the ultimate college experience without going into debt. I basically went to school for free and it's the best feeling to walk across the stage and not have the loan offices biting at your heels.

The advise I would give to parents and students about finding the right college is make sure it's where the student wants to go. The reason I say this is because if the student chooses a school because of family members the student may not perform to his/her ability because they may not like the college. College goes by quickly, so make the most of it by attending a college that you want to attend and by doing your best. Be involved in your college but not so involved that you forget the reason why you are there and that is to get your EDUCATION!

Just make sure you do a lot of research on the college and tour the campus before you decide to go.
