If I could go back and talk to myself as a senior in high school there is so much I would say. I would first tell myself how important it is to not fall into the party scene. Binge drinking might be temporarily fun, but the consequences are absolutely not worth it. I would also stop myself from rooming with my friend. My freshman year was emotionally stressful for me, because I roomed with a close friend from high school. It caused a lot of pain for the both of us, and eventually reuined our friendship. Then I would advise myself to pick up a good study habit that fit my schedule. It is so easy to put your social life in front of academics when you get to college, but it is even easier to fall behind in class. There is a lot I would change about my first year of experience here, but it is through those trials and tribulations that I grew into the more responsible person I am today.

Choosing the right college is a difficult decision and in my opinion is very time consuming. Start thinking about your choices early on, my junior year in high school is when I started considering my college options, and allow yourself plenty of time to make your decision. It is important to consider all your options and look at many different kinds of colleges and universities. Figure out your priorities, such as distance from home, class size, and cost, and use those to help eliminate some colleges. Once you have a short list of three or four colleges, make campus visits. Remember that you are going to be spending about eight months out of the year, maybe all on your own and away from everyone you know, and it is important to find a place that you feel comfortable with. Most of all, have a good attitude. No matter where you decide to go, a negative attitude WILL have negative effects. This is an exciting time in your life so think positive and have fun!

In this essay, I will give advice to parents and students about finding the right college and making the most of college experience. The first step in choosing the right college is comparing the quality of education offered in different colleges. It is important that a person makes the most of their tuition and time by doing this. Another thing to consider is the cost which includes the cost of living, food, tuition, books and miscellaneous fees. Once one has the college chosen that one believes is right for him/her, one has to make the most of their college experience. If one is living on or near campus they should get involved in extra-curricular activities. A few examples are intramural sports and volunteering in the community or on campus. One needs to study and keep up on homework in order to be successful and make the best of their college experience. It is important to get good grades in college because it helps in the future to get scholarships and a good job. Now that I have given advice about finding the right college and making the most of college experience, it is important to follow my guidance.

Visit each college. Its all about getting that "feeling" when you visit the campus.

Find a college that feels like you're at home, and has a lot of groups or clubs that interest you. Classes are important but it's also important to have fun.

My advice for parents and students would be that you want to find an institution where you can be yourself and get the most out of the college by learning and other social or community events. It's not about the the school name or the cost, it's about finding teachers who best suite you so you can maximize your potential in class, along with being able to make life long friendships. It's about utilizing the college's amnemities to achieve and conquer your dreams and career.

Look for a college that offers a degree and is highly recommended in the field you are looking. Compare programs if there are more than one college with the program you are choosing. Do your homework in looking into what financial aid package the college is willing to provide as well as tuition and related costs. Look into the housing offered, meal plans, extra-curricular activities/clubs, and any sports that you may be interested in participating. When obtaining information from the college, are they friendly and willing to go the extra mile to get you answers? Staying on campus your first year or two is a definite bonus. You are close to everything and feel more a part of what is going on around campus. Get involved in activities; either a sport, club, etc. You make so many more friends and it makes your college experience something you'll remember and have good memories of. Going off to college makes you realize how self-sufficient you really can be and gives you self-confidence. You can do it!
