rainbowsend answered Saturday March 12 2005, 5:31 pm: There is no "best" college. You should choose a college to fit your skills, personality, major preferences, etc... not just go to a school because it's known as the best.
You're just in 8th grade. While it's great that you're starting to think about this, you've got a long time until you really need to start looking at colleges. For now, focus on making the most out of high school. Do the extracurricular activities you enjoy, try to get involved in your community, take classes that interest you and work hard to get the best grades you can. Most people don't start to seriously think about colleges until their junior year. Personally, I waited until the summer before my senior year to narrow down my choices to a list of about 8-10 prospective schools to research.
To learn more about different colleges, check out websites like www.collegeboard.com or www.princetonreview.com. This sort of site will tell you statistics about each school- how many students, student/faculty ratios, majors offered, availability of on-campus housing, etc. [ rainbowsend's advice column | Ask rainbowsend A Question ]

What do you want to be? Give us some ideas and will try to help out!! [ Sherry's advice column | Ask Sherry A Question ]
