Choose the right college

Persnally, choosing where you want to go to college is a personal decision and frequently a stressful decision. You must determine what you might like to study or major in college. Many students enter college undecided, which is fine, but it is best to have some idea of a career or major to steer your way in the correct path. When you have an idea of what you might want to major in can also help the process of finding the right college. You should also create a list of the colleges you are considering and the ones that you are not. Also ask yourself questions, Do you want to live close to home or faraway? Do you want a large or small university? Can you afford to pay for it? A major obstacle for students is the cost of the university. The cost is what holds back most students because they do not know how to pay for it. However, I do not think people should do that because if its their dream school they will do whatever it takes to attend there. You should consider attending college fairs, where you will be able to meet with representatives from the universities and obtain more information on the university. The best way to get a feel of a college is by visiting the campus. Take a tour of the campus and ask questions about the college to your tour guide. By doing this you will have an opportunity to see the college in person and having more information to base your decision on. I believe this is the best way to choosing the right college because you do not want to attend a university or cal-state that you do not like. I know when I went to a campus tour, it made me really like the campus and my top school to attend is Cal-State Long Beach. I loved the atmosphere it contained and all the variety of things the uphold. Good Luck!
