What should I look for in a college or university?
Well, what do you want to end up with when you graduate: a degree which can get you specific job training or one which will get you into graduate school? If you don't know, then ask yourself why are you going to college.
If you are pre-med, then check out the percentage of graduates from a prospective college who are accepted into medical school. Is is 40% or 90%? If 90% are accepted, then be sure they will do a good job of preparing you.
If you do decide to go the secular route, brace yourself for the destructive on slaught of life without a foundation or truth. Selfish world views flourish on campuses. Students drunk on their freedom are rarely concerned about the long term effects of how they live their life. A very strong Christian fellowship group is a MUST. See the links on our our Ministry page to find out what student ministries are on campus.
Can I choose my own roommate?
A few colleges offer a roommate matching service for incoming freshman. Georgetown has a online service named CHARMS which gives the students the opportunity to choose their own roommate. A few others use a service called Webroomz. Many still resort to the low tech method of index cards. Ask the admissions department of your top choices for details.
