There is no perfect college--if there were, everyone would just go there. A good fit for college is not always the popular colleges, best universities, or even where your friends are going. Do not get caught up in the perceived reputation of a college; the hype behind the college name will fade if the school is not a good fit. You have to determine what you need to be successful and what will help you achieve your goals.

Some things to consider when researching colleges:

• Cost

• Size

• Location

• Distance from home

• Available majors/classes

• Support Services

• Housing options

• Diversity

• Sports and other activities

• Campus atmosphere

• Policies
