Advice to students selecting a college:

1. Have strong criteria. Know what areas you might study, or what academic areas you like in high school (It’s ok to not know exactly). Know what extracurriculars interest you. Do you want urban, suburban or rural? Do you want to be close to home, or not? What is important for you to see in other students at the school?
2. Do lots of research.  Everyone’s websites are full of good information, it may just take some effort to find it.
3. And then go visit the campus. In whatever way you can.  That may be online only for now, and that’s ok, you are far from alone! 
4. Ask the questions! Reach out to the Admissions Office and your counselor to ask every question you can think of.
5. Make sure you are looking for the best fit. The school you see yourself in. Talk to current students.  Talk to faculty and staff.  Talk to alumni.
