| I think the most important factor in selecting a college depends on how comfortable you feel there. Of course it is important for the college to have a strong program in the intended area of study, but how many students also change their major at least once in the first few years of college? As far as having friends/boyfriend/girlfriend at the school I believe hurts the overall college experience. I think choosing a school based on personal opinions and not on friends allows for the student to develop beyond highschool. |
