Nearly one in three undergraduates who begin studying at a two- or four-year college will move on to at least one other instiitution in pursuit of a degree. As decisions loom, seniors should consider the following factors when choosing a school:
Affordability. On average, tuition increases by 8 percent each year.
Size. How you fare in your high school environment often predicts what you'll prefer in college.
Academic Support. Is the advising office well staffed? How accessible are the faculty members?
Student Life. You have to love where you are, every day. So visit the campus.
