First you need to know what you want to do, then find all the colleges that have that major. Look at how much it cost, and all the opportunities that go along with each college. After you pick the top 5 go visit them, see what it is like, try the food, spend the night with a student to see what the rooms look like and how it feels to be in a college dorm room. After that see which college feels right, which one you feel the most comfortable with. Then go visit the ones you really want to go to again, ask questions, meet people find out where you feel the most comfortable.

College is all about development and where you want to be when you finish. It is important to find a school that has a good balance between academics and extracaricular. Having a social life is just as important as academics because social events are great at teaching people how to interact with others and as well as many people with different oppinions. On the academic side colleges that offer internships and programs that help people on their career path are very important. Getting experience in the field is as good as or better than just getting class time. Time in the field helps to gain knowledge about problems that may only be encountered in work conditions. When picking a school keep in mind what your goals are and it will make the decision will be easier.

I would recommend to parents and students that they base the schools they look at around what makes them most comfortable. I feel its most important that you look at and visit the schools you have choosen before applying as well because you should really get a feel for what your lookign at before applying...it makes a huge difference in the final decesion.

Finding the right college; Absolutely take your time and look around. Don't settle on one school without seriously considering the others. Consider in-state and out-of state schools, big and small, schools of all kinds, really. Choosing a school is a huge decision so do your best to make sure it is the absolute right decision. Making the most of the college experience; This is a tricky question. Some might think it means getting the best education for your money, while others might think it's more about life experiences, longtime friends and things along those lines. I think there's a delicate balance between the two things- you're ultimately here for an education and it's very expensive. However, you do need to take time to foster friendships and enjoy the experience of being on your own. Try to find that happy-medium of friendships and social life combined with working hard on your studies. It'll be tough but college in general isn't easy.

The most important advic I can offer is, make sure that you and you student feel comfortable on the campus. Meet many people when you visit and decide is you feel like you personally fit in. Look at the students on the campus does it seem like you can relate to them, if your answer is yes hopefully you will feel safe and comfortable at the school you are looking into. Lastly is the campus easy enough to navigate so that it does not stress you out when you need to get somewhere. Lyndon State College offered me all of these things and I believe this made my college a perfect fit for me.

Go somewhere you will enjoy. Do not go to a school due to its reputation of simply being great. Ask yourself why you want to go somewhere and make sure it is actually going to help you suceed in life.

Kyle

Choose a school that has many majors you are interested in. Don't go to a school strictly for a sports team.
