My school taught me not only my choice about a major, but how to have strong leadership skills and succeed in all aspects of my life. That is jsut as important as a homework problem.

Pick a school that will fit your personality type. If you want to be a leader, than come to Norwich or a school like Norwich.

Find a college that suits you as a student. Make sure you are in an environment that will not only enable you to study without to many distractions, but be able to have a social life so as not to be stressed out all the time. To live the college experience depends on how you go about it. You can either live in your room, live out on the town, or find a balance between the two.

I would simply tell them to ask teachers for advice and visit the school(s) and after visiting, you will know if that is the school you want to further your education. Making the most of the college experience is all about getting involved and just enjoying every minute at school, because college is supposed to be fun as much as it supposed to set you up for your future. -Nick Bakos

College is what you make of it. If you do not care about education and simply want the experience then go to a school that is inexpensive and has no standard for academic excellence. If however you want an education but think it might be tough to balance a party life style with school, then STAY AWAY from schools known for that type of society. If you work hard you WILL get into a school and you WILL graduate, but schools do not like slackers. The more you work, the more you will get out of your college experience. So find the school that will make you work the hardest!

I would say find a school makes you feel comfortable and safe. At your home you need to feel safe, at your school you need to feel safe. Also be as involved as you can. When you look back you don't want to say "shoulda, woulda, coulda." The more you are involved in the more stories you have and the more you interact with different types of people which is a huge growing experience. Try something you've never tried before!! One last thing, make smart choices. It is the kids who go out and take thier education for granted who will end up in the wrong spot. Study hard and have fun!!

Don't make money the deciding factor.

Find out the details about the aspects of your specific major and the differences that each school has.

Make sure that you look at as many colleges as possible. If a college just sounds interesting, go see it. It's a great experience and should be experienced with the best feelings life can give. College is a great place to meet people you'll meet for the rest of your life, make sure you take every oportunity to meet new people. Try new things, get involved and have fun, but also make sure to remember that the classes you're taking now and the amount you learn in them will effect what you know in the future, in the field you decide to go into. Make the best of your experience and always think possitively.

The advice I would give to parents and/or students about finding the right college and making the most of the experience is to visit the campus and talk to students that are attending the college. Find out what their oppinions are about the school, what the classes are like, what living on or off campus is like, and things to do at the school. I found it to be the most helpfull thing I did when looking at schools.

Finding the right college you first need to know how you want to live, to you want to be in a big city or a small town, How many students do you want in your classes, if you looking at going to a military oriented school as I have done (Norwich University) then make sure that you respect the military and what they do for us. Making the most of college, learning to balance you social life with your coursework is the very most important you'll get out with a good GPA and friends for life.
