What matters when deciding to apply for college?

I have several colleges listed to apply and this is my senior year. i had always wanted to go to MIT since freshman year to study environmental engineering, but lately, i kind of don’t want to as badly after i heard stories about how hard it is to get through it and that people there have no lives outside of studying etc.

i want to go to a college that will provide me with a good education without requiring me to rot in my dorm room the whole 4 years. i want to have a social life and explore adult hood when i go to college. i’ve heard that the college experience is one of the best ones people have and i want to go to a school that will enable me to do that.

i would prefer to go to cities such as seattle, boston, east coast cities.

Personally, I think what matters most is getting the best education you can possibly get for your financial status and talent. If MIT is an option for you, it sounds like the best way to a solid future, and an almost guaranteed career. You will have your whole life to be social, though I understand your concerns. College can be a lot of fun, but so can life after college.

No matter what school you choose, especially if your major is engineering, and you hope to have a good future, you will be working hard. Wouldn’t you rather get the best now, instead of looking back on your college years wishing you had gone to the school you always wanted to go to?

Only you can choose what is the best path for you, good luck in your decision!

It relatively relies upon: – academic acceptance (you pick your degree to talk for itself) – branch of your particular considerable (Even a hassle-free-rated college can concentrate on something) – Commuter Campus V. residing on/off campus the main serious ingredient is to bypass to each college of pastime and to visualise going there. in case you are able to no longer see your self residing there conveniently and fortunately, it may desire to no longer be the wonderful selection. having suggested that, it incredibly is a project for you in addition to mght. in basic terms be sure which you’re a valued pupil and not basically a classes examine.

First, look at what schools have the degree that you want. If price is an option, look at that, if not, look at cities where you think there will be a nice social life (ie: things to do).
