• Plan ahead. Start with a virtual visit by going to Web sites of colleges you're considering.

• Compare advantages of suburban to city campuses.

• Evaluate your preference for a large university with many graduate schools or smaller colleges.

• Consider an opportunity to live in a new part of the country.

• Ask your friends and family how they selected a college.

• Compare the benefits of two- year community colleges and four-year degree programs.

• Consult guidance counselors.

• Read college guides.

• Learn about required tests.

• Look at courses that will help you in your intended field. For example, a Babson College course requires all freshmen to run a business. It supplies start-up funds so students can gain practical experience about the business world.
