Go to school goal focused and don't let the social scene steer you away from your dream or allow you to loose sight on the prize.

Finding the right is the most difficult decision ever. I didn't think I would ever attend HBCU because I felt it wasn't me. My cousin made me apply to FAMU and I got accepted but decided not to attend so I decided to go to another non-HBCU university that I was accepted to. The other university I attened was just not me it was so boring and I just followed my friends thinking i was going to be great but it wasn't then transferred to FAMU and completely LOVE IT! Even though they have their up and down situations I would never trade it in for anything in this world because I learn from it and it teaches me to never give up. I think the best way to find the best college is to go on college fair, or campus tours and I never attened one I think If I had I would know that I would love FAMU. Also try to interact with some students at the college and ask around about the college becuase they would know it best!

College is a learning and growing experience. You must choose your college carefully to accomodate both your stdies and your interest. Although college is a fun experience, it is also an essential part to your future learning and job experiences. People with college degress tend to be more successfull than people without them. Once you find a college that pertains to your interests you must take total advantage of all that school has to offer. Along with being fun, you learn alot and grow throughout your whole college experience. It is more than just school work and learning but also about friendship and growing more mature as a person and being less reliant on your parents. Along with learning all you can, you should enjoy your college experience because once you graduate the real world starts.

As any family is looking for thre right college for a student the things that should be taken into perspective is what does the student value to there lives. I chose an HBCU because I wasn't given the experience to interact with many african americans around my age group and as of k=now I am thankful that I have chosen FAMU. Also what does the student want to study. Famu is the #1 University to graduate Black students with a Pharm. D Degree and I enjoy the prgram that they have provided for myself . Other things to take in is does the student know anyone in the area and the distance that it is from home. Out of state may not be a good decision if you are financial capable and want to go home for the holidays. Keep that in mind, but you may want to get away from your family and enter a new enviornment and that may be a good thing for you to grow as an individual. But these are some key things for a family to look over while sending a student off to college.

The advice I would give about finding the right college is to first know what you want to study and what kind of environment you want to be in. If you know what you want to major in, it can help you narrow down your choices and pick a school that specialized in your field of study. Then you can narrow it down further by researching the schools you have selected. Check to see if the school will put you in the environment you are comfortable with, such as size of classrooms, size of campus, housing on or off campus, school activities, clubs, nearby banks, post office, grocery stores, and things to do that you are interested in. As for making the most of the college experience, know what your goals are. It will help you stay focused and stay on track. Get to know your fellow students, faculty and staff. Be involved on campus and get to know fellow students who share the same interests academically and socially to help balance things out a bit. Put school first, do your best and get it over with so you can move on to pursuing your other life?s goals.

Look for a college based on everything. A college known for excelling academics can't compare to a school with great academics and a teaching, yet fun social life. College is suppose to prepare you not only for your career, but also for life's challenges.

Pick a university that will be the proper fit for the student as college will only be four years but it can be some of the best four years of your life if you go to a school that is right for you. I know of people who chose to go to schools based solely off of prestige and other similiar factors and where not as happy because they were not able to connect with the university of the student body. These factors are why picking a proper school is so important because you will form lifelong relationships at these institutions.

Make sure the alumni have jobs in the field you're looking to pursue and find out if the school helped them get there.

Trust your instincts.

The advice that I would give to parents and students is to make sure that the university that you choose is the right one for you to excel and thrive. If you are, or if your child is, the type of student that needs attention and needs to have a close relationship with their professor, you should look into smaller liberal arts colleges. If you already know what you are interested in doing and are confident in your abilities to attain academic success, then go to the best university that will accept you. Initially it may not seem important but when looking for jobs and or graduate school opportunities, a good letter of recommendation may prove invaluable.

Choosing the right college is a big step into one future. I would advise parents and/ or students to visit their prospective university to get a hands on feel for the enviroment, culture and the city amenities. By knowing what the university offers one can determine if thats the best place for them to receive an higher education and make the most of their college experience.

Travel to them and take a tour. Meet students and find out what the school has to offer you, and/or what YOU can bring to the school! School is the most important investment in you lifetime so choose wisely and make sure you feel at home when on campus. Also, if you can afford to... GO TO A COLLEGE AWAY FROM HOME. it gives you a chance to meet people and to get a GREAT college experience, staying home will not do anything for you!!

When choosing a colege that is best for you, i must say do your resaerch. Make sure that the school has your major and make sure that they have a great program so you will be instilled with the best knowledge, and also so you can have a guarenteed job. Don't let no one make the decision for you and don't fell pressured. Do what is best for you. When you finally get there be sure to study hard and play hard. You can't be a student forever so live it up. Make the grade, be involved, and have fun!

The first thing that I would recommend is to find out what they really want to do in life as a career. When I was in high school I really didn't know what I really wanted to major in, but during my junior year of high school I figured it out. I knew I wanted to be in front of the camera, but I didn't want to major in theater because to me it is not something that I could fall back on substanially. I became the weather girl at Monarch High school and there I performed in front of the camera until I graduated, thats when I knew I wanted to major in Broadcasting Journalism in college. Now that I attend Florida A&M University I realized that its not only the best pick that I have made for the school ,but as well as for my career. So young minds out there get involve in you school, because you never know when you might find your career, because there is something out there for you, and once you find that you will be able to find the college that best suits your and career.

Research as much colleges as u can and find out the different majors that they offer.

FIRST OFF MAKE SURE ITS A SCHOOL THAT IS KNOWN FOR BEING THE BEST IN YOUR ACADEMIC AREA OF STUDY AS PHARMACY IS TO FAMU AND SECONDLY PUT YOURSELF OUT THERE ON YOUR CAMPUS. YOU CANT HAVE MEMORIES IF YOUR NEVER THERE!

Consider your options before your finally chose. Make sure you do your college research and college visit. Interview students who are attending the colleges that you c onsider attending.

Your Freshman year should be the year that you experience everything. But you should also remember that you repetation starts this year. Also try to go to school away from the parents. Make alot of friends and get to know the people in your dorms. Stay on campus thats how you get to know everyone and know whats going on.
