It is sad when gifted students cannot attend a college of their choice just for financial reasons.Another major factor is location. Whether the college is in
21、 a small town or large city can have a major impact on its activities. A water lover probably will be more comfortable spending four years near an ocean or a lake. Those who cannot tolerate heat will probably be more comfortable at a northern college. Distance from home may also come into considerat
22、ion. If family is a top priority, that person should stay close to home; on the other hand, if independence is desired, a campus farther from home would be more appropriate.School size also plays a major role in the decision process. If you want to get to know your teachers, a small college is suita

Your area of interest is another factor to consider in the decisionmaking process if you want to get the most from your education. The whole point of college is to lear
24、n what is of interest to you.Crucially(至关重要地), one must take into consideration the colleges by which you can realistically be accepted. An Ivy League school for an average student would probably not be a good match. Similarly, an average school for an aboveaverage student would not work well. The c
