Finding the Best School for You

I've blogged about this before, that there isn't one best school for everyone, but it's worth saying again.  And this time, I don't even have to write it all out!  One of the counselors from NMMI (New Mexico Military Institute) wrote an incredibly thoughtful post, including questions students should ask themselves when they are selecting colleges to apply to, and eventually attend.  Here's a great quote from the post:

"By helping many students through decisions on their future education, I have found that emotions take over if there isn’t a written list. This works wonders to help clarify and somewhat quantify your choice of school or the whole decision can end up being very emotionally driven. There is certainly a part of the equation that is ‘feel’, and that is included here, but that can’t be the whole equation."  (Author:  LTC Kalith Smith)

So, if you would appreciate some helpful guidance, read the entire blog post  It's worth your time (and money and future) to work through the questions.  Remember, make sure you find your best fit.

***I am not paid by the author of the NMMI blog or the book to share these resources.  This blog "To and Through College" is simply a blog to share tips for students to get TO and THROUGH college--with no payment to myself from any link I share.  I'm sharing them because they are the most helpful things a future college student (and their parents) could read!
