Go somewhere where you feel comfortable! Something about a school should jump out at you right away! Also, MOVE AWAY FROM HOME!!! It is what completes the college experience! Living on your own, becoming responsible and growing up! I stayed close to home and chose to continue living there and I definitely regret it. College only happens once so enjoy every bit of it and take as much away from the experience as you possibly can!

I would recommend researching every aspect of the college experience and picking the school that fulfills the majority of what you hoped college would be. Don't pick a school just because you know someone there or because you like the football team, pick it because you think you will enjoy it. Once you're there work hard and get involved!

Do your homework be sure pay close attention to finanical aid requirements, research part-time job opportunities, and get involved on campus! Don't be too worried about "letting go", there will be plenty of people ready to assist your child with every thing they may need!

Don't be afraid to leave home, go for it!

Look at what the college has to offer in your field of interest, make an effort to meet people and make friends, and borrow as little money as possible>

Consider the cost, be true in faith that you'll succeed no matter what, and be ready to make sacrifices. God Bless!

Apply every where, research all possibilities, become involved with organizations.

The best thing you can do to find the college that is right for you is to spend some time on campus and see how busy the campus is. Find out if there are groups, clubs, and otherwise which focous on your particular interests. Determine if you are a greek kind of person and find out if there is there is decent greek life associated with the school. Most of all, find a school which can provide the classes you need, when you need them, with a name that is recognised in feild.

If I gave advice, I would say to check the variety of majors. Students change their minds often during college and it is always a good thing to be able to change it rather than be stuck with something you do not want to do. Everyone should be able to have a job they enjoy. If the college they choose has multiple options, it gives the student this chance.

Make sure you are commited to attending all classes all the time. Location is key to success, if you like being on campus then you are more likely to go to classes.
