The student usually completes some general courses first and then decides on a major. That depends on your choice of the best college for you. If the college you want is far away from your home, you will have to go away to college. A student who lives on campus is usually more involved in campus activities than a student who lives off campus. Most college campuses are safe.
Colleges often have their own security or police staff.
When there are crimes committed, the colleges must report the number of criminal incidents and arrests to the federal government each year. If you are concerned about campus safety, ask the college about their recent crime statistics. College is an investment in your future, and therefore costs money. College expenses include tuition, fees, books, plus room and board if you go away to college. Some community colleges and vocational-technical programs charge little or no tuition to residents of the area.
