If you are not sure about something, take time to think about it but don't take forever!

I would tell students to do what they feel is right for them. Don't base your decision on where to go to college on family, friends, of boy/girlfriends. Make sure you visit the school and asked questions that apply to things that you want to do or see at the school. First decide if you want to go to a big or a little school and if you want to stay close to home or not. Make sure the school offers majors that you are really interseted in and has a good job placement after graduation. My best advice is to visit school and sit in on classes also don't just go somewhere that your friends are going. You can always meet new poeple.

Students should take advantage of all of the resources, such as peer tutoring, available to them on campus to help their academic career. Also, get involved in clubs and activities on campus. The more you are involved in, the more you feel like you belong, the more friends you will make, and the better your resume will look.

Go the colleges and actually spend time there, think of all things you would need like a grocery store, activities, and see if it fits into you lifestyle. Anything that is no far away or unaccessuble you can't live without, don't do to the choice.

Pick the school that feels right to you. Go with your heart or you will regret your decision in the end.

First consider your personality, values, goals, and career interests. Start by investigating schools that seem to fit your personality: whether you like sports, large class sizes, or technologically advanced equipment. Visit the schools that interest you the most, talk to current students and alumni as well as advisors, professors, and admission staff. Ask questions! You can never go wrong by asking questions, and if you think of them later always give the school a call or email. Picking a school is much like picking out a new outfit. When you get the right one it just feels right! Please also consider this is an investment for your future, dont base your choices soley on the wild social atmosphere or that your friends from high school are attending there. Take it seriously, take a breath , relax, and go for your dreams.

Be involved with your students if you are a parent. If you are a student look for somewhere you will be happ.y. If you are not accustom to small town life and you think you would be bored then don't pick a school in a small town. If you want to get lot in a crowd go to a big school. Be aware of campus activities ut don't get so involved that your studies suffer.
Barbara
Parents be involved with your children even after they go to school. Go and visit and be interested in what they are doing. Don't add extra demands on to their already full plate. Students as a returning student after many years of exprience enjoy these years but be prepared to work hard and study long and don't ever hesitate to ask question. The only dumb question is the one not asked!!!!
Jessica
If the college has a thing where it allows an interested student to stay overnight and go to class with a student in the major of the interested party then allow them to do that. Get involved and don't be shy.

visit visit visit. nothing is better than a visit, maybe an overnight or a tour the more you visit schools the better you can decide what type of school is best for you
