College Selection Tips

The stage of transitioning from high school to college is one of the biggest steps an individual has to take in their life. After preparing a list of the possible college you would like to attend, I would recommend creating a list of things you look for in a college. Three tips I would advise all prospective college students to take includes being sure that the college has their desired major, it provides extra curriculum activities based on their interest, and to take visits to that college's campus. It is important to pick a school that offers the major you wished to pursue a degree in because it is essentially the main purpose of getting a college education. If that college has the major you wish to pursue, determining if they have program or extra activities to expand on your interest is an important asset in the college selection process. Finally, the campus visit should be the final piece to the college selection puzzle. The college location, campus life, and other student will allow you to have a feeling for what the upcoming years would have to offer.
