3 Reasons You Know It’s The Right School For You

When considering colleges do you only look at price and final outcome, or do you dig deeper? While it is important to find a college that offers the degree you want at the price you can afford, it’s vitally important to choose a college that feels right. After all, if you show up to class every day dreading it, you won’t get the best education.

How do you know if you’ve picked the right college for you?

Ask yourself the following questions. If after answering them your college of choice matches up, you have yourself a winner!

1. Will I be comfortable on campus and in class?
   In other words, if you’re an introvert by nature, will a big campus hinder your learning because you feel out-of-place or self-conscious? If you’re an extrovert, will a small campus make you feel caged in and unable to concentrate? Is the campus in a bad area of town, causing you to feel frightened every time you leave for school—making attendance an issue?
   
   
2. Does the college provide student support?
   If you discover a class to be too difficult, does the college have some type of program in place to help you succeed—like tutoring? Or are you left to your own demise?
   
   
3. Other than completion of a degree, what can this college do for me?
   In other words,
   
   
   
   • Are there hands-on training or internship programs in place?
     
   • Is there a job placement program once you graduate?
