Applying for and choosing which college to attend can be an incredibly stressful and overwhelming process. However, this does not have to be the case. It is important to remind yourself, first and foremost, that there is no “perfect” college, just as there is no “perfect parent.” What makes a college the right choice is up to you and how the college fits into your goals, interests, and priorities. Now, these goals, interests, and priorities are unique to YOU. They may differ from those of your friends, teachers, and even your parents. That’s OK.
