College Decision

United States

For those of you who have graduated college or are currently undergoing a degree, how did you choose the college or university you are attending/attended? I know that my decision was long and changed quite frequently. At first I was a major fan of Miami (FL), went to a few football camps there and practically picked my dorm room while I was visiting. However, living in Chicago I grew to feel that Miami was a little too far away. I then looked into Indiana, to which I went as far as registering for fall semester classes. After my summer internship I found a job that I really wanted to pursuit. So I decided to stick around in the city (Depaul) and pursuit my career while earning my degree. How about you?

Choosing college for merit students depend on th rank that they have got . .Once they find list of good colleges they are going to be guided by their parent or friends or brother or sister or know seniors .By this way majority of them select the college . . And so many other things also matters like place where they stay or parents where they work .Or their parents always want to choose the college which is near to their native place so that the communication and attachment with them wil stay tight . .

It teaches what I wanted to learn, and was good for that It is close to home so I could stay with my parents most of the time (free of charge!) It is not so close to home that I don't feel like I am free It has good features, good grounds It is supportive of all it's students with their choices!

Very scientific (not) - it was close and it was cheap and I could live at home and take the bus.

Hey i am the student from the computer field and i am doing the b tech for the same and we have to go for the entrance test for getting admission into the respective college so i cleared the exam and got the admission and moreover the reputation of my college is very much high, not only for the studies as well as for the sports specially in the cricket. Many of our college students are playing at the national level and trying hand to get into the international level as well so all these things prompted me to join this college SUSCET the name of my college,it simply rocks.
