Pick the Right College the First Time

Picking the right college the first time is one of the best decisions a family can make to save money. Graduating in four years instead of changing schools or majors that can add additional semesters or years to a student's education requires a lot of research before applying.

Here are some factors to consider. (Each family's order of importance will be different).

Location, Size, Housing, Meal Plans, Weather, Co-op & Internships, Student/Faculty Ratio, Campus Setting, Campus Safety, Athletics, Diversity, Sororities & Fraternities, Merit-based Scholarship Availability.
