Northland College Top Questions

To find the right college, forget about the money . When I chose my school, I was having difficulty deciding between three schools, so I told myself to consider what I would do if I had a full ride to each. I knew exactly where I wanted to go, and I still love my choice. I picked the most expensive college, but I recieved some decent scholarships through the school that really made it affordable. To make the most out of your college exprience, pick one you love. Don't chose because your parents, your friends, or your significant other love it, think about it yourself. Visit the school, and when you do try to meet current students and talk to them! Talking to current students is the best way to find out what is going on at the school, what is avaiable to you, but also what might be some of the down sides to that school. And once you've picked, just make sure to get involved, and even try things you didn't do in high school. It brings you great experience, and allows you to figure out what you like and dislike outside of the classroom.

Check out as many schools as possible. There is a right fit out there, you just have to look for it. The first three weeks are the most important weeks of your college career. Get out there and meet people and make friends. Everyother freshmen feels the exact same way as you do and is in the same boat.
