If you just finished the high school and now are in the hard task of looking for some college to continue your studies, here we will show you some tips you must take into account when choosing the right place for you, read with attention and good luck in your search:
 Size:
Bigger Universities are not always the best, but surely a big one will give you more comfort (more labs, libraries, residence halls,...).
Some universities are divided, they have their faculties in different places and vary enormously from one University to another, the majority of them have their bigger buildings for those careers with more afluence of students, and depends also of the city it's located. Take on count which kind of University you want to be in, a huge or medium University, it also affects the teaching and the students learning, if there are many students in a classroom is more difficult for the proffesor to notice which of them are paying attention and which not.

Accommodation:
Maybe the University in which you are planning to study has the main campus in other city, for that is necessary to decide where are you
going to live, many colleges have their students in a residence hall, at least for the first and last year, but you'll have to look for some
accommodation in your new city, try to take a look over the prices and the rooms, if they are furnished and if they are comfortable.
Location:
There is the possibility that you find the University you want but it's too far away from home, so you'll need some advice and maybe you'll need to talk to your family if you are used to live in a familiar atmosphere, if that's not the case then surely you won't have any problem to begin a new live in a new city and the fact of meeting new people and new friends will sound very good for you.
About the money:
Money it's not the most important point to take on count when looking for a University but it surely has much influence on the decision.
Good Universities can cost thousands of dollars a year, maybe it goes from 50 000 dollars and more, but don't get dissapointed about that,
if your family can't afford this quantity there is the posibility of a scholarship, many universities give scholarship for those students with
good qualifications. And some other universities offer a very good help for studying in their classrooms, they give the students a loan,
so if you apllied for a loan and you get it you can pay it after finishing your career, the payment deadline depends of some criteria they
take on count, but the idea of the students loans is highly valued in the northamerican society and without a doubt is very helpful.
A Community College is a good option?
The College name:
A name-brand College is not always a guarentee of a good education, if some University with a well-known name has a faculty in your city and you
are interested in studying there, you must begin to investigate about this University as it was any other one, you must not trust only in the
name, try to see its strengths and weaknesses, many times we get very excited about some Unversity but at the end it's better to know the studying
center deep inside.
Also you should take a look to the University Campus by your own, try to see what is going on around the University:
