Finding the Right College

One of the toughest and most important decisions one will make is going to the right college. There are so many factors involved: Location, size, athletics, academics, environment, and Greek systems are just a few of the many confusing factors. Being an athlete, one of the biggest factors for me is whether the school has a baseball team. For many others, it is the academics and whether the school offers the degree that he or she wants to pursue. And of course, once you find the right school, you have to get in! Writing colleges essays and filling out the application is the easy part. Opening and reading the letter back from the school is the tough part. Recommendations are also very important. A little word of advice, pick a teacher that likes you. That may affect how your application turns out, just maybe. If you are a sports fanatic, than I would recommend going to a bigger school with a big time sports team, or if your a geek than look more into the ivy's. All of this may seem obvious, but once your in the middle of it you'll understand. Everything matters, and everything will change your opinion.
