(NAPSI)-If you are planning on college but have yet to select one, here are some tips on finding the school that's right for you.
• 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.
Babson is ranked first in entrepreneurship by U.S. News & World Report.
