Choosing the Right College
(Always check the college's official website for the most up-to-date information)
Find Your Fit
Think about what your college experience will feel like.
Do I like the campus, location, and size?
Does it offer the majors or programs I am interested in?
Will I be happy and involved here?
Do I like the student culture and campus life?
How far do I want to be from home?
Compare The Real Cost
Look beyond the advertised tuition. Compare what you will actually pay after scholarships and grants, including housing, food, books, and travel expenses.
Consider Academic and Future Plans
Make sure the college will give you opportunities to grow and prepare for what is next.
Strength of your major or areas you are interested in
Class size and access to professors
Internships, research, and career opportunities
Academic advising, tutoring, and support
