CollegeSurfing.com Prepares Every Student for College Decision Day

Top Career Education Portal Offers Tips on Choosing Between College Options

Staten Island, NY (PRWEB) April 30, 2007 -- On May 1st, all over the world, students are finalizing their college decision. For some, the choice is simple. For students vacillating between several college acceptance letters, the decision can be much more complex. With its vast array of career education resources, CollegeSurfing.com demystifies the decision process for traditional and nontraditional students alike, enabling them to find the school that's right for them.

As reported in the article "Which School Should I Choose?" within CollegeSurfing.com's Preparing for School resource section, students are advised to consider these criteria before they commit:

Reputation: Which school has a better reputation in your field? Does one school boast a higher career placement rate than the rest?    

Location: Take a realistic look at the travel time to each school, factoring in gas, tolls, and parking. If you're schooling online, assess whether you can be productive in your home office.

Accessibility: How quickly and easily are you able to contact each school via phone, e-mail, and Web site? Are you satisfied with the thoroughness of responses?

Tuition/Cost: Determine the final "sticker price" for each of your college options. How much are you being offered in grant and scholarship money as opposed to loans?

Comfort: Which school environment is more comfortable for you, offline or on? Which community can you envision yourself being part of?
