Choosing a college or university can be a big decision. It is a life changing choice. The school that we recommend on going to could be either private or public. It is all your own preference. What we suggest is to go on many visits to different schools to get the feel of things in the "college life". Once you find the aspects you are looking for in a school, it will be easier to make the decision in going into the right school. And, another tip, do not be worried about transferring, if you need to transfer it is fine. You just ned to find a place where you are comfortable. It is your ow choice and own preference in choosing schools, so figure out what you like in different schools and compare them to each other. Which school you decide in going to is not a huge deal; it is what you make out of being from that school. Your education should be your first priority. And, you get the same kind of education anywhere, it is what you make of your education.
