How to choose right college and uiversities in India

Helping your child choose the right college can be a major event in your life as well as his. Ultimately it should be his choice. You want to guide him and help him, but also realize that he is soon to embark on his journey into adulthood and become more independent. Make sure he realizes that the choice is his, but that you will be with him every step of the way.

Location is a major factor to consider when looking at which is the right college for your son or daughter to attend. Do you want her to stay close to home?

First find out what her desire is. Every child is different. Some want to get away and go on their own to the other side of the country. Others want to stay close to home and gather their feet a bit. Others want to go sort of away from home, but close enough to get home when they need or want to. Talk about transportation, having a car, and how often he'll be home for breaks and holidays.

Money is another important factor. Discuss whether you are willing to help her out with school. Loans are common these days as the price of schooling and education are increasing. A state school or university is a good option if money is a major issue. Private schools can cost in the range of $40,000 to $50,000 a year. Scholarships can be a huge help, and some schools are helping out with aid and offerings grants. Don’t rule out a school right away because of the sticker price, and if you and your child’s heart is set on a school, try to find ways to make it work.

Community college for one or two years is an increasingly popular way to help cut costs. Transfers can save money, mature a bit, and still get their degree from the school they desire. Size of the school is a big factor as well, and is sometimes overlooked. Small intimate school settings, often found at liberal arts colleges, offer small class sizes, availability from professors, and more focused attention. Some students are better suited to this learning environment and are more likely to succeed here, instead of being lost in large lecture halls at large universities.

Others like the large setting, a big student body, and the vast resources they can provide. See what’s right for your son or daughter. Can he handle the responsibility of larger sized classes, or will he need smaller classes to ensure the teacher gets on his case if he misses class? Preparing to send your son or daughter to college can be an exciting and scary time, but researching the right schools and investigating the school that’s right for him can set him up for future success! Help him make the right decision, guide him, but ultimately help him make it for himself. He'll thank you for it.
