Advice for high school seniors when choosing which school to attend: Make sure the college can accommodate your goals. If you're unsure what direction you want to go, that's totally fine, but look into whether the college offers options and resources to explore different careers. If you've already figured it out, make sure the college can help you get involved in classes and opportunities that support your goals.
