7 Things to Consider Before Casting Your Ballot on Which College to Attend

The decision of which College is the right one for you is a monumental and severely underestimated decision in a high school students life. Looking back on my own experiences, I truly did not place much thought on my decision until I was facing my Junior year of high school, when my counselor pulled me into her office and began asking me about my plans after graduation. I was taken back. I hadn't spent an instance of my time prior to this moment thinking about where I was headed. I knew I was going to College, but where exactly? Your guess is as good as mine was at the time. Its astounding to me that at the age of 17 I was expected to know exactly what my plans were, where I wanted to attend College, what my major was going to be, what I want to do for the rest of my life, and so on. Worrying about this decision only makes matters more stressful than need be, and here are 7 things to consider before casting your ballot on which College to attend.

1. Making the decision of where to attend College is incredibly stressful, so lean heavily upon your counselors, teachers, friends and family to help you along in the decision making process. 

2. Formulate a list of your wants and needs from your College and tackle to College searching process head on. Searching for College's without having a game plan is going to cause even more stress.

3. Start your College searching process broad and continue to refine your results. The College you may not initially be leaning towards may end up being your number 1. 

4. Schedule campus visits as early as possible. You can learn a lot about a College by simply stepping foot on its campus. After all, you'll be spending 4+ years living there, if its not a campus you find appealing crossing it off your top choices will focus your attention on more promising prospects. 

5. Deciding on your major before attending College is less important than you may believe. I came to Illinois State with the impression of being a journalist, and now in the midst of my Senior year I have changed my mind a number of times and now am majoring in business. In most College programs you will have until your Junior year to declare a major, which will allow you to take general education courses to discover where your passions lie. 

6. When deciding on which College is right for you its incredibly helpful to seek opinions from your peers. However, their opinions should not supersede your own wants and desires. Don't let another's desires persuade you away from your own. A prime example would be attending the same College to remain with a significant other or to continue a friendship with your best buddy. Friends and relationships come and go, but be sure not to loose out on the experiences College will present to you by remaining in the past. 

7. Choose a College that fits what you're searching for. There's a College for everyone and by putting in the work to find it will change your life forever.
