Finding the right college is more than just the US News ranking and ‘famous’ schools that you’ve heard of. Before being fully committed to applying to your 10 or more colleges, you should look into whether the college is the right fit for you. A lot of students forget that college is where you will be spending your 4 years away from your family. So this means you should consider the overall campus life, too. Yes, you will be spending a lot of time in the classroom, study halls, and laboratories, but have you imagined how your daily life will be after your classes? Beyond just looking at the major, it will be helpful to look at academics, housing and dining, campus activities, and facilities to gain a better understanding of what each school offers.
