The advice I would give is to really research the school and what it truely offers the student. Make sure the program is exactly what the student is looking for and ask questions. See if you can talk to fellow students who are currently majoring in the field of itnerest and see if you can do an over night/over weekend stay at the campus to experience the caf and other on campus as well as off campus resources. The student should check out the activities that go on to see if they would be interested in them. I say that because not only is finding a school with the intended major important but finding one that will keep you busy and involved is important. GET INVOLVED. DO NOT BE AFRAID TO ASK FOR HELP. Just have fun and do your work. The 4 or 5 years will go by fast. Study, study, study. Use resources provided for you.

Look for three key things in a school, its location, programs, and cost. Once you have selected a school by that criteria, you want to look at the school's social atmosphere and see if it is someplace that you would want to spend the next two to four years of your life.

Searching for the right college can be one of the most difficult esperiences an individual will face. Not only is the application process stressful, one must also consider how they will be affected by their decisions. "Does this institution offer the field of study in which I am interested?" "Are there activities available for students to participate in, in which I will have an opportunity to meet new people?" "How will this decision affect my family and friends?" "Can I afford this certain college?" Students face a wide range of these questions when making their final decision in choosing a college. I found that the best way to answer these questions is just to relax. Take the time to visit schools and talk to as many people as needed in order to get the answers to those tough questions that most students face. Visiting a campus can give you a genuine feel for how campus life works for a particular college. Overall, have fun with the college selection process. Although it is one of the hardest decisions a person will make, it can also turn out to be the most rewarding.

You have to find a college that has three things. 1. The correct major that you want in order to obtain an occupation that you are going to love. 2. You have to find a place where you can enjoy being and know that the people there are going to encourage and help you achieve your goals. And 3. You have to go out and look at every college that you can, how are you going to know what the best college for you is if you only visit one. Visit as many as possible with the degree that you want and you will have more options to choose from. And i would say the most important thing to know about about college is you have to be yourself, dont let anyone else say what you should look like or how to act. Dont let others define you becauseyou try to hard to fit in when you meant to stand out and be great.

Go to Open Houses for colleges while the student is in high school. When choosing the right college, make sure the school has the major you are interested in. Talk to students currently in the major/area of interest. Ask about the housing provided; is it co-ed or same sex? what furniture and appliances are supplied to the students? Look into the crime rate in the school community/city. Know the activities available on campus. Be familiar with policies established on campus.

I believe when looking for a college, it is important to look at location, quality of learning, the size, and the programs the school offers. The location is important to make sure the campus is safe and to find activities you are interested in (e.g. skiing in a colder location or swimming in a warmer location). Quality of learning is important to make sure that you will get the most out of your college experience and be as prepared for your future as possible. The size of your school is important because for me, it is easier to learn, meet people, and talk to the professor in a smaller class size but the opposite might be true for you. The programs the school offers is important to find the right career choice for you and was one of the main reasons I chose Gannon University. Once you find the school that is perfect for you, it is important to live on campus if possible because it makes it a lot easier to meet new people and become friends with people that live in your dorm/apartment. It is also much more fun which is another important aspect of college!
