Don't go in set on what you want to do- explore options, especially in the first couple of years. Parents- let your child grow up. Don't force them into certain activities or career paths.

I would just tell them to be themselves when visiting the schools, and really find out what is important. If a huge party life is what you're expecting, with a well rounded education, then you might was to pick a school with more social events. Another thing to consider is sports. When I went to College Station to visit A&M, I was too distracted by all of the sproting events and parties. I just wanted to get the most out of my education without having so many social activities. They are good every once and a while, but everytime there is a football or baseball game, it gets a little crazy in that town. I would just say to make sure you know what you want and not let anyone tell you differently. Not even parents. Students know themselves and know what conditions they can handle and still maintain a good education.
