Choosing a college: Factors to consider 1. LOCATION ○ Do you want to be close to home or within driving distance? Do you want to live in an urban or more rural area? ○ ○ Do you want to live out of state, or even out of the country? 2. SCHOOL FEATURES ○ How many students attend and what is the average class size? What facilities and student centers do they have on campus (i.e. library, resource centers, mental wellness centers, etc) ○ ○ What is something unique about the school that you find attractive? 3. MAJORS AND PROGRAMS ○ What are you interested in studying and do they offer that? Is that major impacted or more challenging to get admitted? ○ ○ What opportunities does the school offer students in those programs, whether in academics or extracurriculars? 4. COST OF LIVING AND TUITION ○ What is the cost of tuition, room and board, and other student fees? What would it cost to live off-campus in the location of your dream school? ○ 5. FINANCIAL AID, SCHOLARSHIP , AND WORK STUDY OPTIONS Does the school offer need-based and/or merit-based scholarships, work study, or other financial assistance? ○ For tools related to choosing a college, financial aid, and lifestyle budgeting, go to: https://www.cacareerzone.org/
