Attending a college that doesn’t fit is like wearing stiff, tight shoes for four years. It is uncomfortable but easily avoidable if one takes the time to find a good fit. A college that fits can be comfortably lived in and used as a springboard for a student’s future. Colleges are never one-size-fits-all. Students must pinpoint an ideal size, environment and distance from home by touring campuses, speaking with professors and current students and exploring the surrounding city. Because attending college is a bridge rather than a final destination, students must also seek out a school with academic excellence, field experience opportunities within their major, related clubs and local organizations. Each opportunity will help guide students into productive, meaningful careers. Personally, a college may be inexpensive or well-ranked, but if it doesn’t have an environment that suits me and it doesn’t give me the skills I need beyond graduation, I don’t think it fits. How did I find a college that fit? It wasn’t just by sitting in auditoriums or reading brochures. It was by trying on different schools until I found one with a size, environment and program that fit me like a cozy pair of slippers.
