make sure that the school that they're wants to go to is worth the money. and not too expensive, and if it is expensive make sure the student has scholarships or at least keep their grades above 2.0

If you are trying to find the right school for your child or for yourself, the first thing you should do is findout what you or your child is looking for. Findout what type of school is best fit for you or yourchild. try also finding a in state becuse the loans and grants that the states give to students are very helpful in the long run. the reason that they are helpful in the long run is because when you are done school you will not have so much debt to pay on private student laons. so to recap, the main thing you want to know about a school is if it's right for you and if it is in state so that i am eligible for the state grants and loans.

The best advice I could give anyone looking for an institute of higher learning is as simple as one word, partnership. In order to find the right university you need to first ask 3 simple questions about the partnership of the school your leaning towards. 1) Does this school partner with my pocket. Because times are hard and the almighty dollar is becoming all the more scarce and you need to be certain that the school you pick is partnering with you financially so that you can enjoy college without having to overly worry about uncle sam and sallie mae. 2) Will this school partner with me in education. Because it's one thing to find a school that you can have a good time at, but will this school help further my education and help me get closer to obtaining my undergraduate degree. And last but certainly not least 3) Will this school partner with my parent(s) because what parent wants to send there child just anywhere? Every parent needs to in fact be insured that the school there child is going to is one that will help meet goal 1 and 2 in there childs life.

Do not be afraid to go for what you want and to open up and meet people.Networking is key to getting what you want out of your college experiance.

Do your homework by researching the location, quality of education, majors that the college excel in, how far away from home is acceptable. Also look into the quality of the dorms as well if living on campus. Make sure that one is able to get the best out of one's experience there, good luck!

I think students should find a college that matches both thier major and thier extarcurricular interests. An important part of your education are the memories you make during that time. I feel you also retain more of what you are taught if you have some fun memories added to what you learn. As much as an education costs today, being in an environment that you enjoy and that is positive to a student's learning process is imperative to becoming successful in life and making your educational investment worth while.

Make sure you know the courses that you need to take in order to claim your dream career. Select the relevant major and make sure you do research on how successful these programs are at those respective school. Also, parents and students should research scholarships from the internet, high school guidance counselor, and even newspapers. There are more scholarship opportunities available than you would originally think.

I would tell students to really research colleges so that you can find the one that?s best for you. You don't want to end up at a college that doesn't fit you. It's absolutely ok to go to school with your friends, just as long as that school offers the career that you plan to pursue. Having fun in college is apart of the experience. Parents let your child pick the school that he or she wants to attend. Only intervene if they ask you too. This will help with the maturing process as well. Also parents, college is definitely the BROKE years, so don't be afraid to send some money down!
