Choosing a college is a major life purchase.  Treat it like buying your first car, minus the pushy, persistent salesperson. Colleges have price tags and features just like cars, but they do a heck of a lot more than get you from point A to point B.  College is the place where you find your path personally and professionally.  Don’t be fooled by the flashy floor models or rushed into a decision. Take the time to make an educated choice.
