Making the Right Choice

Picking your college is one of the biggest, and at times, hardest choices you'll have to make. 

Follow these guidelines if you are having trouble finding a school that's right for you:

Starting the search:

• Ask yourself:
  • Is this school in a location that I want?
  • Is this school the size I am looking for?
  • Is this a school that I can afford with some financial assistance?
  • Do they offer a degree in the major(s)/minor(s) I am interested in studying?
  • Did my visit to the school "feel" right?
• Make a list of your Top 10, then as time goes on, narrow that list down to about 4-6 schools

Making the final choice:

• Make a Pro/Con list, naming the things you liked and disliked about your top 4-6 schools
• Compare the financial aid packages different schools can offer you
• Go with your gut! Choose the school that fits best in your mind.

Take time to talk with your school counselor and I Know I Can advisor about your choosing process. They are there to help you find the school that suits you best!
