A+ School For You

Selecting the right college or university involves more than liking the school colors or being a fan of its sports teams.

Here are a few tips to remember when selecting a college:

• See what is currently on the Web site-special programs, visiting professors-then see if you can tour the campus, register and even possibly take classes online.

• What financial aid packages does the school offer? Are internships or part-time jobs available?

• Size. What size of school are you looking for?

• Location. Do you want to live in a big city? Is weather important?

• Do the courses that are offered match up well with your career goals?

For example, a school called Babson College has a course that requires all freshmen to run a business. It supplies start-up funds so students can gain practical experience with the business world.

Babson is ranked first in entrepreneurship by U.S. News & World Report.
