Where to go to School? Think Location; near oceans, cities, rural? Search schools in those areas Private or Public? What are YOU looking for? Keep an open mind on everything
Narrowing the List Decide where and why, narrow list Decide size of school, narrow list Schedule a tour and visit websites Still be open-minded
Researching a School Every University or College has a website Look at Majors and Minors Social Life? What is around school? Costs and Financial Aid Decide to take a tour
Tours Take a tour to get a feeling Learn everything you can about school Decide if you like it? Conduct more in depth research Think Expenses!!!!
