200 words isn?t a lot so first off just remember to breath everything is going to be ok. Students the best thing you can do is RESEARCH, RESEARCH, and RESEARCH some more!!! Look at all the school you are interested in and compare them to each other. Search for your major, the cost of attendance, location, accreditation, graduation rate, and everything else imaginable. If you have questions that you cant find the answer for call the school and talk to someone there. Knowing all the answers will greatly help when it comes down to making the final decision. Parents, be UNDERSTANDING. Searching for a college is no easy task and believe me your student already feels enough pressure. At the end of the day all they want is your support. Once the student has found the perfect school for them its full speed ahead. Students join a club become involved! Getting involved in on campus organizations is the only way one will truly receive the full college experience. Have fun, make new friends, and above all get to know your professors, they are there to help you. College is an amazing journey from beginning to end, so enjoy it!

College is a wonderful experience and everyone should atleast attempt to go . Finding the right college may be hard but it is very important and can have an enormous affect on a person. While searching for a college look at the graduation rate, average grade point average at the school, crime and organizations on campus. Being involved with various clubs on campus will allow a person to meet new people and experience new things. Education is the main priority in college but friendships and maturing as a person is also part of it. If the college is the type of environment that will allow he or she to blossom and enjoy every aspect at one time; that is the college most fit for he or she.

choosing the right college for oneself is really important. most of the student who apply to the school now, they choose it from it being popular or their friends are going there. but instead students should know who they are and what they want out of college. reseach and visit the campus, sometimes one person's opinion on the school may not be enough. look at what kind of person you are and what you want to become, then when you find that out, seach the school that is the closest to you. ask and observe if the school will promise you a better and brighter future.

In order to find the right college, you should take the time to realize what you are good at and what you would like to do for a living. In order to make the most of your college is experience, you should go out and have fun. The only way that can be done is by doing different things, socializing with different people and join a school club that best fits your personality .

College is more than just books and study. You want to make sure you make the most out of your experience by interacting with the student body, participating in the social activties, and getting to know you campus. When you graduate from you college/university you should not only leave with your degree of choice you should also leave with fond memories and endless network opprotunities. Make every moment count. Do well in the classroom. Stand out, ask questions if you are unsure of the anwsers. Never regret anything learn from every situation and use it later in life. Your key year is FRESHMEN YEAR make the most of this year. I hope that i have share some helpful information to get you ready for college. Keep your high school grades up and SAT/ACT scores even HIGHER!!

Just make sure you are finacially prepared for what is ahead before you get your heart and dreams invested in to the school. Do some reasearch on the school and its surroundings.

make sure to do your research on your college choices and visit more than one of your college choices

My advice would be to make the best choice you can make when finding a college. And if you only get into a school that was not your first choice make the best of it until you get your thirty credits and transfer to a better school if you still are not satified.

Become active in organizations that tailor your interest, find a college/university that offers the major/concentration of your choice and that also fits into your budget.

Parents should know their children habits and social life and listen to their wants and needs before deciding on a college. Students should also have an idea about what they want to do after graduation, some future plans and not just go to school just because they think it is the right path for them because it might not be. Research the school and the area and talk to some alumi who have recently visited the school. Of course take a trip the city of the college and visit campus, walk around, talk to administration and professors and if there isn't any around, that could be a sign of the faculty's availiablity. Talk to students and most importantly, eat in the cafeteria; you have to kow what they are feeding the students and the choices they have to offer.
