3 Major Things To Consider When Making Your Final College Decision

1. Comfort

The most crucial part of making a college decision is how the school makes you feel. It isn’t always possible to visit every school you get accepted to, but it is important to learn everything you can about the schools. What college to go to isn’t a decision one makes rashly. Many people end up going to colleges where they don’t feel like they belong or they can’t find their own friend group. College is about finding the real you and it isn’t possible to do that if you don’t feel like you belong at your school. You want to be able to find your true squad and that starts with finding your true college.

2. Money

Money is the second factor that comes into making your college decision. The amount of money you and your family can afford to spend on college is a limitation on the places you can go to college. Let’s face it college is expensive, and the sad truth is everyone can’t afford to go wherever they want. With that being said though it should be understood that just because a school is more expensive doesn’t mean it should just be instantly refused.

3. Future

The final consideration is how that college will help you in your career. Connections are what can secure jobs in this day and age. Every college is known for offering connections in different careers or just overall excelling in certain areas. If you are a person who wants to work in a certain field or in a certain part of the country/world each college poses a different level of usefulness to you. We make so many goals for ourselves and choosing the right college is the first step in reaching those goals.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
