A college doesn't have to have a "name" to offer a quality education. Sometimes it's better to choose a smaller campus that can cater to your needs. Look around the schools you are choosing from, talk to people who have been there. Whatever you choose, it's your decision and your life, so make sure it fits you.

The most important thing is finding a campus that fits best with your lifestyle. There are colleges all over the world so dont feel like you have to stay in state or close to home. College is the chance to experience new beginings and find your path for the future. Parents be open and supportive of your childs college career and let them experience all the university has to offer.

Finding the right college can be a long and stressful process at times. When selecting the right college for your son or daughter it is important for you to look at the qualities of the campus. Ask yourself, does this campus have adequate study facilities, does it have a good athletic training center (Wellness Center) for your son or yourself, is the faculty student oriented, is there adequate housing and places to eat, are the students on the campus friendly, and finally does this school offer the degree I would like to pursue? If your answer is yes to most or all of these questions, then I would say you have found the right school for you. Not only would you enjoy the school but you will also feel at home with all of the students on campus.

Pick whats right for you!!!! Follow your heart and dreams....go with your gut feeling.

There are three things I would tell parents/students who are trying to find the right schools; 1. Spy on the School for a couple of days. Look at the culture, check out their Financial Aid office to see how they handle people, go to the cafeteria and check out food selection and price, things of that nature. 2. Talk with some of the students of different levels and see how they feel about the school, even ask some of the people who work there and see how they feel about the school they work for. 3. Before you fall in love with a school make sure it has good job refence and that they will be able to help you get where you want,ex: you want to be a dentist and you want to attend UCA; but you cant because they don't offer that. Those three things will make sure you've chosen the right school and you will not be wasting your time there because it will get you where you wnt to go.

Research and ask a lot of questions. Know what you are interested in and what colleges have to offer you in that area.

When deciding on a college, try not to let your money situation stop you. Choose the university that you feel you will grow and thrive the most at. If you are happy there, then you will be much more motivated to get involved and do well. Once you are attending that university, remember to relax. Getting overly stressed doesn't help situations at all. If you can just stay on task, then you will have no reason to stress out. College is the greatest time of your life, so remember to get involved on your campus. You'll want to be part of everything that is going on, and it will make your experience there so much greater!!

Finding the "right" college is always tricky. the best way to go about it is to find the place that have the most in common with yourself. Wether it be the amount of friends that are there or the types of academics the school offers or maybe sport...whatever. If the school interests you the most or sounds like a place you'd want to spend the next four to five years...then i think you found the place. And to make the most of the "college" experience, just do whatever you can and want. i doubt that if you do that than you will have no regrets.

Base your college choice off of what you plan to do after you graduate. Don't let money hold you back.
