Make the Right Decision the First Time

The college search process can at times be overwhelming, even for the most prepared or academically sound students. Unfortunately too many people wait until their junior, and even sometimes their senior year in high school to begin their college search and selection process.

Even if you kind of have an idea about where you would like to attend and what you would like to major in, I would still encourage you to explore multiple options. If you know you did everything possible in your school search and financial aid process you can remain confident in your decision once you are a student. Too many students select their college without performing a true college search; and when enrolled spend much of their time complaining about their experience and then begin to devote their attention to transferring because they are convinced the grass is greener on the other side.

In my opinion college is too large an investment to not do the proper prep work. I know it is time consuming, but you have to devote time and attention to your search process to ensure you will have the results you want.

Cordially,
Chrystal
