Dear Parents: Make sure your children feel comforatble wherever they end up attending. Make sure the school is not to party oriented because that leads to a lot of children dropping out. Make sure they enjoy where they are and can meet new people while staying career oriented.

I thought I found the right college when I was still in high school. After two years there and a lot of personal growth and changes in worldview and ideology, I realized that my "right school" was quite wrong for me. Be content, happy, and excited about your school. And don't make the mistake of just choosing one school like I did. Explore your options and visit those schools. See what is out there. Going away to school is one of the most exciting and unique times in your life. Do not underestimate the value of being away from home and your comfort zone and stepping into new community, new ideas, and challenging yourself to forge a worldview for yourself and discover who you are and what you want to do in the world.

For a high school student choosing the right college is probably the one of the most important decision they can make in their life. The four years after high school are probably the most influential years of your life where you being to think more independently and critically. Finding the school that best fits you is imperative in finding success. You really need to start looking early during high school and don't let anything hold you back from applying to any one school. Once you think you've found that school find other ones that are very similar to it and try to compare it on every level you possible can. If you have the chance stay a night with a student at that school and ask them and their friends as many questions, as you can think of, about their experience. The best way to choose the right school is to become educated about it: read and talk to others. Then once you get to school get involved and get to know as many friends, professors, and administration as you can. Make your life all about what you can get out of those precious four years.

Talk to students that attned the college. Not just the ones that give you the tour and show you around the campus, but other students to get a good feel for what the college is really like.

Wherever you choose to be is where you are meant to be. Don't be afraid to get involved and make the most of your time at college!

To students, I would say don't stress out too much. Finding a college can be very stressful, but if you are patient and do your research, you will soon be attending a college of your choice! And don't worry, you don't have to know what you want to major in to choose a college. Most of the students who are at college don't even know yet! There are many other things to look at when deciding on a college. The size of the classes and campus, location, credibility of faculty and staff, and extra-curricular activities are all things to research. When you have arrived at college, it can be overwhelming. All of the new classes, friends, homework, projects, assignments, due dates, and orientation activities can seem like too much to take all at once! But hang in there! To make the most of your college experience, get help when you need it; the professors and faculty are there to assist you. Make new friends, but don't forget about your old ones. Study hard. Call your Mom every once in awhile. Eat at least a FEW vegetables. And make time for some fun!

Just remember that every school that you go to make the best of it and it will be the best thing that you could ever do believe me!

Make sure that the college has exactly what your child wants to do for a major. Don't just get second best major, really pursue what that person wants to do. Also, do your best to get as many scholarships as you can because you never know when financial aid is going to give you enough money one year, or not enough the next. Make sure your son or daughter feels welcomed in the school and doesn't feel lonely or put aside.

Visit the campus, and if it doesnt feel like home, then its not right. Afterall, it will become your new home, your new life, and new part of you!

i would say just make sure that you get everything you want out of a college. make sure that it's a perfect fit and don't settle for something less just because its far away or convenient. also make sure you're happy with whatever you choose
