What College Do You Want To Attend?
First thing that we want to look at is what college you want to attend. College is an experience that many people look forward to, but there are right places for you and there are wrong places for you. Sometimes you will be able to tell by doing research online if an institution seems good for you, and other times you won’t know until you visit the campus and actually see what it’s like.
For many, when they find the right place for them, or a couple of places they could be happy, they get this excited feeling right in their stomach which lets them know they’d like it there.
Also, if you already know what you’re going to want to study, then you need to look into their programs surrounding this. It’s no good going to college that doesn’t offer what you want, or has a reputation for not offering it well.
How Are You Paying For College?

You may need to get a job to cover the rest if you can’t get full coverage.

However you end up paying for college there is absolutely nothing wrong with it. Apply to where you can afford or to where you can get help, because it’s nobody else’s business but yours.
