Choosing a college: Factors to consider LOCATION ○ ○ ○ SCHOOL FEATURES ○ ○ ○ What are you interested in studying and 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? COST OF LIVING AND TUITION ○ ○ How many students attend and what is the average class size? What facilities and student centers they have on campus (i.e library, resource centers, mental wellness centers, etc) What is something unique about the school that you find attractive? MAJORS AND PROGRAMS ○ ○ ○ 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? 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? FINANCIAL AID, SCHOLARSHIP, AND WORK STUDY OPTIONS ○ Does the school offer need-based and/or merit-based scholarships, work study, or other financial assistance?
