Am I too old for college?

The famous author C.S. Lewis said, “You are never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream.” And this is why no one is too old to enter college. In fact, according to surveys, nearly 50% of freshman college students are not fresh out of high school. Most of them start working first, raise a family or simply take time to think.

How to choose the right college for me?

There are many factors to consider in choosing the right college for you. First and foremost is the cost. Know your education budget and whether it can be suited for the school you prefer. In connection with cost, you also need to consider the type of financial aid that a college is providing. Every college has a financial aid department that you can talk to about grants, scholarships or student loans. Determine which one offers the best options.

Location is another factor to consider. Are you looking for college near your home? Or do you plan to live in a dorm so a school located far from home would be fine? Do you prefer a campus right in the heart of a big city? Or one that is in a suburb? Is the college near any public transportation? The quality of the program you’re interested in should also be considered. Some schools are better for particular courses than other schools. Extracurricular activities are also important on choosing the right college for you. If you dream of pledging, how’s their Greek scene? If you love sports, how’s their sports teams?

Last but not the least, the whole campus culture. Some schools are known for rowdy partying, others for liberal activism, and others for hardcore studying. The general vibe of the school is a factor to consider. If it feels right then it may be the right one.
