A “duh” tip #6

When deciding on what college you should go to, talk to people that go to the schools you’re looking at!

In this day and age when there are so many ways to connect to college students (especially via the Internet… facebook anyone?) you should have no excuse about not seeking out information from students who already attend a given school.

Usually students are all about promoting the schools they go to, but they’re also usually pretty honest about any downsides they’ve experienced too — so, don’t be shy! Call them, email them, facebook/myspace message them, instant message them, whatever — just talk to students about their experiences and you may have an easier time dictating your own… especially as that statement to register is due tomorrow folks! May 1st = National Reply Date… good luck!
