hi. its until recently I've noticed how most people grow up with a goal getting into a certain college. but that wasnt my case. i can't tell you how how frustrated i am at this point in my academic life.

how did you guys factor in what college you guys wanted to go to? was it because how pretty the school was, how high it ranked compared to MIT, close to home, etc.

please help me decide because i don't want to get into a school where professors suck and student body are anti social and by then it will be too late. I've heard of times where people got into UCSD and realized how lame that school was, socially wise, which can be a hindrance in an academic point of view.

ive been studying for half a day so sorry if this doesn't make any sense.

comments, suggestions?

thanks

in advance!There are many factors to consider when deciding which college to attend, and it's important to do your research so that you can make an informed decision. First, consider your academic goals and interests, and find colleges that offer the programs and courses that will help you reach those goals. You should also look into the school's social environment, whether it has a vibrant student life or if it is more isolated. Additionally, think about the location and what resources the area has to offer. Finally, take into consideration the cost of attendance and make sure you can afford the tuition and living expenses. Taking the time to research each college you're considering will help you make the best decision for your future.
