In your search for a college to attend, make your own decisions. And the final decision needs to be 100% yours!
If you are a student considering college right now, it is wise to get advice from various sources, including your parents and your guidance counselor. And it is wise to ponder such advice. And there are always financial issues to take into consideration. Yet then make your own decision!
You are the one who is going to study at that university. You are the one who must live it.
You might get pressure from parents or friends. Please know that pressure or no pressure, the decision is yours.
There is only one Person who fully knows what the best choice is for you: God. Pray with all your heart for help from God the Father, the One who wants the best for you. If the Holy Spirit dwells in your heart and you have peace in your heart about your decision, you are on the correct path.
And no human being knows you better than you. So make a decision with the best of your ability, and then stand by your decision.
On the slim chance your experience at that college ends up being different than you expected, or if the university is not a fit even though you did research galore, you can always transfer after a year.
In my opinion, it is a rough time to be a student. University admission has become ridiculously competitive! Also, there has been a polarization between in-class and online education. And the cost is outrageous.
However, there has never been a better time to research details about a university because of all of the information on the Internet.
Give your college search a complete effort. And in the midst of the challenging endeavor, know you are loved by the Lord God Almighty!
