Tips for Choosing a College

Ask yourself the following questions to help you decide which college is right for you:
  • How far from home do you want to go?
  • Do you want to attend a large or small school?
  • Does the college offer your chosen major?
  • What type of institution is the college (2-year, 4-year, etc.)?
  • What is the campus life like at the college?
  • Where is the campus located?
  • Can your family afford the college?
