Check out the career services and ask them which companies recruit from that school. What good is a degree if you can't get a job? Therefore this is really an important factor. Second, I would talk to students on campus and ask for their opinions. See if you can find students who are in your same major. One department can be a different world than the next. For example, the psychology department at my school seems friendly and supportive whereas the accounting department is cold. Accounting at GSU is a teach yourself proposition. You can't even get tutoring help unless you have already failed the course before. Isn't that something you would like to know before you pay them all of your money?

Do your research. Some colleges may be good, but if it does not offer your program or if it offers your program but it is not with distinction, do not attend! Do not go to schools based on where your friends are going. Chances are, you won't talk to your highschool friends while in college. College is all about finding yourself. DO not just go with what the in crowd is doing. Please be an individual. When it comes to sororities and fraternities, do your research. Do not just join because you want to do what everyone else is doing. Also, when you go out with your friends, make sure you are very aware of your surroundings. Many incidents happen because students are not aware. And lastly parents, please allow your children to grow up. If you shelter them in college, they will not be able to truely grow and mature! Most importantly, have fun, but do your work! I partied all the time, yet I had a high GPA! It is possible!

Start searching for schools a year or two before you graduate from high school. Really think about a good major considering your strengths and weaknesses. Research all the schools you attend. Try to see could you sit-in in a class to watch the Professor-student relationship. Learn the transfer policy before you transfer (if you transfer). Use test materials to prepare for the SAT test. Score high on the SAT test. Believe in yourself. Plan your career. Listen to others advice. Do what you feel is best for you. Stay in contact with your family and friends. Participate in community activities. Enjoy life when you can. Read your holy book. Get a job for extra money. Save your money. Bye a cell phone. Get access to a computer. Get ink for your computer and keep ink for your computer. Expect the unexpected. Expect good times and bad times. Expect a good grade. Expect to get the grade you didn't want. Expect to make and lose friends. Try to be sociable. Get ready to form study groups. Get ready to talk to your Professors. Expect to need some letters of recommendations. Pray to your lord. Imagine. Think. Smile. Cry.

I feel that students and parents should pick a school based on the level of education and the envitoment. It has to be a place where you can get a good education but also a place that keeps you interested in the envitoment and school

College life is the best time of most people. In college , students learn not only to get degrees but also to get a life lessone. Therefore, finding the best college is very important for students because it is going to affect thier life in the future. The best way to find the right college is i think doing research on different schools. Research and specially look for what students say about the school.

do not let the money or cost for college stray you away from the school of your choice

Advice I'd give is always make sure your college choice is for the right reasons. You can always find friends, girlfriends, boyfriends, and good teammates wherever you go, but a good education isn't something to be sacrificed over "enjoying" college.

Make sure you pick a college that fits you and don't try to choose a college you fit into. You will make friends wherever you decide to go so be picky and use caution. Do your research!

Many sure your child makes the decision and not the parent because its their live not their parents
