When looking for a school do not just depend on recruits or the website visit the school and ask some of the students going there. The university center is probably the best place to go. Once you get there always keep in touch with your parents and be honest about your experiences. Parent have most likely experienced some of the same things and can give you advice on how work through them and laugh about them later.

work and play, don't focus on one or the other.

Don't try to overwelm youself by going as far away as possibly and getting the true "college experience". This usually leads to home sickness and failing grades. Instead, slowly work your way into the college life and make sure that you can handle the workload that you are putting on yourself.
Parents, don't worry so much about your child once he/she leaves. You most likely raised them right and you just have to trust that they will continue to act in the right manner. Also, don't be too strict on them before college, thats when you most likely see kids going crazy once they leave home, which is never a good thing.

Keep an open mind. I'm the youngest of three, so I had both of my sisters pressing me to go to their schools. The school that one of my sisters went to was my dream school. Looking back, it probably was just because she went to it and I worshiped her (like any other youngest sibling). I ended up going to my second choice, a school that neither of my sisters attended. I was devastated. After a few months at my school, though, I realized I had missed out on so much by not looking at other schools.

I would tell them to find a place that is warm and inviting. That they feel comfortable at. That they know they will get a good education due to the success rate at the school. A school that is the best in the future plans of their life.

Be sure you can afford the school for the entire time of attendance!!!! Parents let your kids go off and do their own thing, if they call you everyday stop answering. They need to learn not to be so reliant on you. If your kid ask for more than $200 a month and they do not live on campus either they shop too much, drink all the time, and/or doing drugs. DO NOT BE IGNORANT! Your kid is going to drink and party, get off their back! The more you lay off the less fun it is for them. (Reverse Psychology)
