Hey bloggers! For many of us, college is right around the corner. I'm sure for all of you, picking your college was very difficult. Picking the college you plan on attending is a huge decision to make in your life, and also may be one of the hardest decisions. There are so many factors that go into choosing the college you plan on attending. Here are some huge tips to help you guys pick your college.
1. Cost- College is EXPENSIVE. However, colleges do offer scholarships to help pay for your tuition. Applying for scholarships may seem annoying, but they can go a long way in having less debt once graduating. Most in-state colleges are cheaper than out of state ones. If cost is a concern, look into scholarships and your in-state colleges to compare the costs.
2. Programs- Many colleges offer tons of programs, but if the college you are looking into doesn't offer a program of your interest, then you shouldn't bother. If you have a good idea of what you want to pursue as your career, then make sure your college offers a program within the realms of it.
3. Campus- Many people fall in love with the campus they are in. Living in a campus that attracts you will make your college experience much better. Make sure to go on visits to the colleges you plan on applying for to make sure you like the campus.
4. Location- Do you want to be close to your home, or as far as you could possibly be? That's a big question you have to ask yourself. If you get very homesick, then choosing a college close to home would be a good idea. Many people have wanted to go as far as possible, and have either loved it, or been very homesick and transferred back to a closer college.
Now that I have given you four HUGE components of picking your college, good luck picking your college! Remember, this is a huge step in your life, so picking the right college for you will go a long way. Happy hunting!
