HHS Career Resource Center: Choosing A College

Factors in Choosing a College	Return to: Guidance & Counseling Career Resource Center
Location Do you want to live near your hometown or do you want to live-out-of-state? School Size Do you want to go to a school which is very large or will you consider a school where you will know almost every one that attends the school. Price Consider how much you want to pay for tuition, room and board. Out-of-state students pay significantly more than those that live in-state. Field of Interest Does this school offer the area of interest of study that you want to study. It this area well know at this school? Opportunities outside of the Classroom Does this college have clubs and organizations that you are interested in participating in that are outside the classroom. Do they provide the outside activities and sports of your interests? Financial Assistance Most college and university programs offer financial assistance. Check their website for further information. Never eliminate a school because of its price along. Check their financial aid possibilities as this could make the choice of attending this school a real possibility.
