Advice for High School Seniors When Choosing a College: Look for a school with notable/remarkable program strength for the respective study (or studies) you are interested in. Tour (either in person or virtually) to get a sense of if community/the concept of camaraderie within the student body is cherished on campus (through opportunities they have for students, events, etc.)
