Don?t just look at schools that are affordable, look at school with a good education programs. A place where you know you will fit in; if you?re a city person don?t go to the desert. Make sure you talk to you children about making the most out of there college experience but to always remember that they are there first and for most for an educations. Always be willing to lend support because college is not something a person just jumps right into and be success. Let them know that you proud of them.

Do not go to a university that is big if you know u need more one on one or just make sure you utilize the professor?s help. To students just always stay focus and get INVOLVED!!!

Do not get a Facebook

I would do a lot of research. It is not just the school that you need to like. It is the professors, the types of students that go there, the night life, the surrounding area, and the weather. Know what to expect before you commit.

If yo're not really sure about what exactly you want to major in, a big university is definitely the way to go! There are so many choices available to you! And get involveda s much as possible! Last year, I was a resident advisor, and getting invold\ved was so important! This year, unfortunately, I don't have the time to be able to do that, but it totally makes the college experience all the more worth it!

sorry no really advice just visist.

I would tell parents and students not to worry about the cost of the schools they are considering more than choosing the school that is the best fit for the student.

Before you sign anything, visit the college first. Every college pamphlet looks good, so it's real important to go to the schools first to get the feel for the college atmosphere. Good students will thrive anywhere, so you just need to find a comfortable environment that's right for you. While you're at college, be social early to make friends. The work load gets tougher after the first 5 weeks into the semester. And year to year, things don't get much easier, either.

Its important to find a college offers things that interest you. It is also important to find an affordable college that is flexible enough to let you explore your interests and try different things.

Students need to find what fits their personality best. College is a place to grow and find yourself, and if you're not happy there, it's going to miserable. Being open-minded and objective is the best way to allow yourself the opportunity to have the best four years of your life. It can seem like an eternity, or it can go by in a flash - the student makes his or her own experience. Visit schools, stay a weekend, hang around the campus to get a feel for the environment and atmosphere, and you'll be able to make the best choice with the most options. Apply to as many schools as you can - even if you think there's no way you'll get accepted, if the school appeals to you in even the most remotest way, it's worth the time and application fee. Make the most of the choosing, applying and getting accepted experience - it's a learning experience and can actually be fun, if you do it right. Don't doubt yourself or your abilities, and you can achieve anything - you're already planning on going to college, and that's huge.

Where can you find your career and as quickly as possible in order not to get trapped...

The best thing you could possibly do when deciding on a major would be to find out what sort of career you want, see if it's obtainable and has an acceptable earning potential, and then choose the major you would need for that career. The worst thing is to choose a mjor you just think you'd be interested in, and not be able to use your degree when you graduate. Plus, don't choose a college that has an outrageous tuition. Once you graduate, nobody cares what college you went to, just that you have a degree. Besides, someone who went to a state school has just as much knowledge and experience as someone who went to a private university, only they aren't in debt for the rest of their lives. Its the same education, why pay 60{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} more for it?!?!

Dont just look at one school and keep your options open to anything. The right University will come around to you sooner or later.

It is important to find a college which fits not only your educational needs, but also your pesonality. It can be a very difficult process to find a school that is the right fit for you, but doing so will make your educational and social experiences throughout college much more rewarding and beneficial. It is important to gather all possible information about every aspect of potential schools. Consider what academic programs are available, what class sizes are like, who makes up the student population, and what extracurricular opportunities are available. Make sure that you are choosing a college which will allow you to get the most out of your experience. Once you're in school, seek out every opportunity available and make sure you take advantage of all that is offered at your school. By doing so, you will not only enrich your own life and college experience, but you will also meet friends with similar passions and pave the way to later success in your chosen career. College can be a wonderful time to explore yourself and career possibilites as well as make connections and memories which last a lifetime.

no response.

Visit the school first and see if the environment is right for you.

Visit and meet students. Preferably real students, not the guides. Stay over night if you can to get the full experience.

I would tell parents to make sure that their child is choosing a college that will allow them to pursue their dreams and make them into a reality instead of choosing a college based soley on obtaining a degree.

Look into the school, and don't control the decision.

The fame is not the most essential thing. Look for a school that will maximize your potential and inspire you greatly.

I would tell students going into college that the experience is nothing like high school and to be open to meeting everyone and anyone. Nobody cares about what your social status was in high school so it is a great opportunity for a fresh new start to make new life long friends. I strongly urge any student going to college to join a club or group of some sort in order to form a close social network. This really helped me make the adjustment form home to college. I am of the play hard work hard philosophy, and it definitley holds true in college. Do not sluff off your first couple semesters because it makes it extremely difficult to re-build your GPA for the remainding 3 years. Take every social opportunity you can to meet new people but always put your school work first. It doesn't really matter what you major in during undergrad as long as you get some kind of education. I believe that most undergraduate majors fall under the liberal arts field anyway, so I would advise students to not stress too much about what they major in.
