Preparing for College Tip #3: Know Thyself
There are more than 3,000 colleges and universities in the United States enrolling as few as 80 students and as many as 50,000. To find a logical home for yourself in this educational jungle, you must be armed with self-knowledge.
Who are your friends? What do you and they have in common? How are you different? What academic areas interest you the most? Do you learn best in a small class or in a lecture setting? What are your general career goals or interests? Do you see yourself happiest in an urban, suburban or rural setting? The list of potential questions is endless.
No school will satisfy all of your criteria. The trick is to prioritize based on how close each school comes to your ideal.
