[nabs-l] where to start

[justin williams]

One tip I will give is to pay attention to your environment; make sure you
folks attend a college where you are comfortable and where you feel you will
fit in and be able to make friends and enjoy yourself.  Do you like the big
city life, or a small town feel.  Mayve you want a campus which is enclosed.

Precious:
That's a very tough question if we don't know what major you're thinking of
going into.
You are one step ahead of where I was at that time, at least you know the
places you don't want to go.
My best advice is try to get yourself to 1 2 or 3 majors you want to go
into.
If you already have those majors, go ahead and share them with us so we can
help you better.
As far as searching for colleges, search anything based on those 3 majors.
Also, look at colleges not only for tuition and so on, but look at what
their known for.
For instance, since I was in New York at the time, I learned that:
-Hunter College is known for medical and education-related studies,
-Columbia is well known for education, etc.
And that way you narrow down which colleges you want to go to since you want
to go to a college that is well known for your major because that's where
they'll be the most equipped to help you.

Hope that helps.

Because he trusts in You. (Isaiah 26:3 NKJV)
