[quote=Anonymous]You don't guess. You do homework. First, help your child identify their preferences: size (big campus/classes, vs small with more individual attention?), location (rural/urban/suburban), major, social options (greek/clubs/sports), etc. Are you cost-constrained? (But bear in mind that the sticker price is often not the actual cost). Once you know what your child's needs/preferences are..consult a book like Princeton Review's Best 386 colleges in America (to identify schools that match your kid's characteristics.) THEN, you can take Naviance/grades/scores into account. Then you can read what kids who are there say about the schools on your working list (Unigo, Niche). So, there is homework involved. It is a big decision. Put the time in to help your child make it. [/quote]
