Steps to deciding on a school• Read up- Check out the college and
career center, search online, and read any other info you can about the schools you are interested in.
• Ask around- Do you have friends or siblings in college? Ask the what the best and worst parts about their school are
• Check majors- Decide on something that you would like to do. Does the school offer your major? How is the reputation?

• Apply. This step is important- don’t forget to make the deadlines!
• Decide on living arrangements.
• Visit the school!– If you can, go for a
whole weekend or a few days in a row so you can get the feel for the whole experience.

The big decision • I applied to:
– Bradley (JR year)– Planned to apply to…

My big bummer summer
• The summer after my senior year, I freaked out! I was going to be leaving all my friends, my family, and my boyfriend of two years. I was bummed, and not looking forward to leaving for school. I let it wreck all my fun!

preview• In late July, I went to preview at BU. That’s what
they call orientation. • My parents and I went down for the weekend.
The school had planned all kinds of activities, like barbeques, socials, and parties.
• What kind of stuff did we do?– Made schedules– Toured the campus– Stayed in dorms– Met our counselors– Had fun
