CHAPTER 4

Once you've decided to go to
college, the big problem you face
is in deciding which college.
There are big ones and small
ones. Some are State or mu-
nicipally operated: some are private
colleges. Some are coeducational:
a few are either exclusively for
young men or young women. Some
are far more expensive than others.
Some are liberal arts colleges: some
concentrate on specialized training.
Once you decide between those
broad types of schools. your final
choice will be a lot easier.
You should be practical. You
know about how much money you'll
be able to draw on. If it isn't
enough to finance your education
land it seldom isl. you will have
to get scholarship or work part
time. Each college catalog will give
you an idea about costs at that
college. and about the opportunity
for scholarships and work. That
way you can narrow your list
further

Ask About Costs

And, of course. you will want to
ask about finances. Be frank. Tell
the college administrators how
much you will have when you start.
and they will tell you how much
you will need-and what the oppor-
tunity is for earning or borrowing
it. or winning a scholarship.
After you have finally settled
down on a choice. get your applica-
ton in early. The sooner the bet
ter. If you have any doubts whether
you will be admitted. apply in two
or three places, because you may
not get word back for quite q time.
And, finally. don't be worried il
you find you are nervous or insure
of yourself after you have finally
decided where to go. Everyone is.
Just be confident that your deci-
sion was best-and that the second
choice you didn't take is still the
second choice. not the best one for
you.
