to parents and students i advise them to check out the school they are planning to attend. spend a few days on the campus find out what really goes on. see if that type of enviroment is right for you. try to know what you want from you college exprience therefor you can know if that school is able to provide it. be sure that you are ready to leave home and that you are responsible enough to make good decisions for yourself. most importantly be sure that you what doing is for yourself and that this is something that you want. some people end up going to a college that they think other people want them to go to and then they end up probably fluking out or hating their undergrad experience.

The advice I would give to students would be before you decide on a college, know the things you would like a college to posses, see which college most fit your criteria, and know that all your standards will not be met. Your first choice in college is not always what you expect or right for you, so remove your previous views or someone else?s views and be open-minded when visiting. To both the parent and student that the student has to attend the college of choice. The student is on a path of living their life independently and that they will have to make decisions that are best for them. Let your child leave the nest and experience life to become the adult he or she is called to be but at the same time be there to provide help when needed. As for the students? experience, ?work hard, play hard, but do not confuse the two?. Live life! College is a wonderful experience but learn to balance your workload with your social life. You are going to make mistakes but learn from them so that it will be a success and your experience will be miraculous.

There is no right choice in choosing a college, just follow your own views. Choose which college you want to attend. Attend the college you feel will make you a better person, and will help you to have a bright future. Pick a college that will express your views on life. And if your first choice seems to not be what you wanted, it is very easy to transfer to another college!

Attending college is a wonderful opportunity to explore, experience, and discover who you are and who you want to be. Deciding which college to attend is not based solely on local, national, or international popularity, but what's the best fit for YOU.Furthermore and more importantly, ensure that you are getting a quality education. Do not settle for less in fear of your failure; instead, take the challenge of choosing a college that will make you a better person. For those who may think that their test (SAT and/or ACT) scores and/or grades in high school amount to how well you will perform in college; think again. Every person is different and unique in their own way. Therefore, scores and/or grades may not determine entirely how a student will perform in college. You can do anything that you enable yourself to do. Work on being the best you can be.

Always visit before you just decide. For students make the choice for yourself, because you will be there for 4-5yrs. not your parents. Have good reccommendations and write good essays. Be aware of the surroundings of the school because you dont want to attend a school that is not in good shape. Choose a school that best fits you and what you feel from the heart.

In order for parents to find the right college for their student, they should listen to what the child wants. Yes the school might be expensive and far away but its all about the experience. They want their child to not only learn and grow but to also have a good time. So when it comes down to the student choosing a college after they've done all the research and done their visits, the parents should just listen because nobody knows wat the student wants more than the student him/herself. Now after the student has got into college the best way to make the most of it is to get involved, whether it be football, soccer, volleyball and basketball games, SGA, Soroities/Fraternities, community service organizations or even occasional partying. The key is to get involved, learn, meet new people and over all have fun and enjoy the college experience.

What college should I go to? That is often the question on many high school juniors and seniors minds. Choosing the right college can be tough. One has to decide if they want to attend asmall school or a large school. Then, one has to make sure that the college that is chosen has all of the classes that is needed for the major, if the college even ofers that major. Also matching the personality is important. Being able to have a good time at the school is important because every once in a while, as a student, one needs to take a break from the books. To make the most out of a college experience, students need to take care of business. Make sure the work gets done when it is given and do not wait until the last minute. The earlier the better because then students will have more time to be a part of the social events on campus. There is no point in going to college to waist time. College is a place to learn and get a good education so one can have a bright future.
