Finding the right college should be taken very seriously. Consider if you want to live near family or far away from them; if you want to be in a small community or a big city; also, whether or not the school has your desired major or has a good program for your field of interest. Visit the school, in order to get a feel for what campus life is like. Now, making the most of your college experience should be your goal from the beginning. Get involved in as many things as you can, because the opportunities will be everywhere. Life-experiences are gained outside of the classroom, where you apply the knowledge you are learning in the classroom. Have an open mind; take diverse classes and make an effort to meet diverse people. Don?t waste the vast opportunities you are given while at school. Go see the candidates for president while they are speaking down the street; join a club; volunteer at the children?s center; go to dorm sponsored events and get to know the people you live with. Opportunity will be knocking, so don?t leave it waiting.
