What College is Best for Me?

I am often asked about college choice. I encourage my students to apply to many colleges and then they can pick the one that will be most suited for them (at this time).
Those students seeking business education should look for business school; medical education, medical schools, etc.
Nonetheless, one point that I adamantly make is the regardless of the university choice, the student's attitude and work ethic will make or break their education.
For example, if a freshman at Harvard sits in his dorm room playing video games and not attending class expects a "quality" education, he is wrong. On the other hand, if a student attends a state university, goes to every class, devourers his textbooks, joins clubs and gets everything possible out of the university's offerings, then that will be the most valuable education.
We teach a work ethic at Sheridan that we hope will stay with our students through college and work.
