My best advice to give parents and students about finding the right college is to go there and take a tour. I know alot of people who just decided on a college without seeing it. Its better to go and see whats going on first hand then to trust a brochure. By going on a tour you can see not only how the campus looks but also get a feel for how it operates. As far as making the most of the colleg experience only two words to help with that, BE OPEN! In college you're going to see and experience different things just be open and take it all in, these four years will be the best four years of your life!

The advice I would give to students/ parents that are looking for the perfect schoolis stop looking because no school is perfect. Tour as many college campuses through out you junior and senior years of high school as possible. Write down what it is you look for in a school and see who matches it the closest. Look at location and your own personality. Things such as do you want to be far from home, close to home, urban environment or a prep school. Look for where you feel the most comfortable and at home. Me personally, my first choice was North Carolina A&T but being from the small town I am from, Shaw was more at home to me because it was more LIKE home.

Well for me as a music major choosing the right college for me started with evaulating the aspects of music programs. When looking at colleges you should look at the aspects of campus life, education level, admission process, financial aid, and campus activities including groups and social events. As a musician i have to be expose to many skill levels to obtain my degree. For example, when studying music a student would learn mathematics, he or she would have to count the number of beats in the measured. As you learn the values you soon learn to add and subtract in order to find out the counts in a measure or the length of volume to hold out a note. There also comes into place the aspect of history. I use this to evaluate the school's program. When examining finacial aid you use this to determine the right school that gives you the most money for your education. Remember your investing in your future make sure you making all the right decisions. With Social Events you want to make sure that it fits you such as sports, band, social groups, and Fraternities & Sororities.

Make sure you do research and dont just choose a school based on what they can offer money wise or social wise. Make sure that the school fix what the student want to make a career out of and be sure of what you what to major in because it should be something you love.

I would advice students to be open minded about finding the right college. College is full of new experiences and many students discover new hobbies and interest during their college experience. First find colleges that offer degrees in subjects that interest you. Next research the programs and activities the school offers. Most colleges offer scholarship for programs such as sports, fine arts programs, and academic clubs. Next you should find out the cost of tuition and fees. If the school is affordable set aside a date to take a campus tour. Consider all of these factors when making your decision, remember that social programs are very important to a students college experience.
