4. FACTORS SHOULD A HIGH SCHOOL
STUDENT TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION
WHEN CHOOSING A COLLEGE
1. Class size:
A bigger school for you who won't mind
attending a class with 250-300 students.
A smaller one for you who needs
more one-on-one contact.

5. 2. Professional opportunities:
For instance, if you are considering a
science major then look for a college
that has a well developed
undergraduate research program.

6. 3. Social opportunities:
Campus student organizations are a great
way to network with individuals with
similar interests and studies.

7. BIGGEST MISTAKES STUDENTS MAKE
WHEN CHOOSING A COLLEGE:
1. Based solely on reputation.
Na-ah!
Just because the college is big
and well-known doesn't mean
it's the best fit for you or your goals.

8. 2. Choosing a college because it's where
all your friends are attending.
You know what, sometimes it's good
to be different than everyone else.
