Factors to Consider

2-year vs 4-year school:

Is an associate’s (2-year) or bachelor’s (4-year) better for your career goals? Do you want to try a 2-year school and then transfer later? Or start right away at a 4-year? 2 year schools are typically easier to get accepted into.

Take a look at your GPA and admissions requirements to see what your chances of acceptance are at different schools.

Career Plan:

Do you know exactly what you want to study and what your career path is already? If so, consider where the school you are interested in attending offers that major and program. Find out their rate of graduation, where their graduates work, and what support they provide to get started on your career.

Location:

Do you want to commute and go to school locally? Live on campus somewhere away from home? How easy is it to travel between home and school?

Price:

Compare tuition prices and determine your financial aid eligibility for different schools. Work with your guidance counselor to explore tools like the Federal Student Aid Estimator. What can you afford?

School Culture:

What other characteristics about schools are important to you? Diverse student populations? Large or small student population size? Clubs available to join? Type of student support offered? Etc.
