A high school student after getting the results of various college entrance exams expects to be in a college which he has dreamed of. A college of his desire, expectations where he can unleash his capabilities to the fullest. The college most compatible to his interests and dream career he expects after graduating. This decision determines the probability of attaining that desired future being he has thought of himself.

Thus consideration of all parameters of a college becomes very important. Most people ignore this due to societal expectations of careers and the limited time . And it reduces the scope to gaze different aspects of college. Irrelevant discussions in counseling forums and advice from insignificant counselors frustrate everybody.

Biased opinions misguide the student narrowing the horizon of details. funneling only salaries, brand tags, and peer influences to affect college selection. Neglecting personal expectations of students like his interests in clubs(dramatic, literature, dance, Quiz, and design) sports and location is not a good idea for the long run.

The importance of choosing the college which is the best fit for him is realized by the student two years after entering the college. This problem might make student regret his decision of leaving the other colleges.

One to one counseling over a personal call to the most appropriate counselor can remove his doubts making him more informed about each aspect of the respective college and branch he’s willing to get in. A 20-minute conversation can be the most convenient way to acquaint him with the things which he is looking for in the college thus easing his way to select the college best for him.
