Parents/students should make sure that they choose a school that will satisfy the needs of the student. The school of their choice should provide online courses as well as courses held in the school. The school itself must offer financial aid and scholarships to help students with financial need. It should have a strong tutor program and very knowledgeable librarians to offer help when needed. Professors should be available to students during regular office hours not just during class time. Computer and lab rooms should have the latest technology and made available to students to complete assignments. Classrooms should not be overcrowded and courses should be made available each semester so that the student can graduate on time. Most importantly, take the time out to visit a variety of schools before making the final decision to ensure that security and transportation is available at all times also tour the neighborhoods it surrounds.

The best choice in colleges includes those who offer many majors and departments. Most college students change majors once or twice in their college careers so to be able to continue their education at the same college, it is important to have a variety of options to choose from. When you really enjoy your college and make friends, you do not want to leave! Also, a college that has extracurriculars that reflect the individual's passions are a must. College has to be a place that you want to be at. In most cases, college is the most important time of your life because this is the first time you are on your own and you want to enjoy your experience there!

Don't pick a school based on where your friends go.

Find a campus where you think you can be comfortable and somewhere you think that the price is reasonable. Don't go somewhere because your friends are. If you know what your major will be then try to get into a program that will do everything they can to help you succeed in that field. Don't go to a school just to get away from home. Go somewhere that feels safe, comfortable, and had good academics.

Always go to a place that you feel comfortable and that you do not have to change your self. Learn about loans and money issues.

Visit the school before applying.

There is a certain "vibe" you get when you visit your colleges. My advice is to listen to that; it is largely what I made my decision on, and it has definitely been a great choice!

As a student who did not want to leave home for college I'm very glad that I did. I love my school. I highly sugget that parents and students should visit the school and make sure that the student is comfortable there. A student will know if they are at the right college when they step on campus. I also thing that the sutdent should stay over night it helps to show how the students at the school live. This will provide the "new" student people to contact if they do have any other questions after they leave the campus. Every time that I am home and I tell my parents how much I truly like being at school, they are happy that I found a place I love to be. I made the best friends of my life at school and I don't think that any of this would have happened if I had decided to stay home for my college experience.
