School Location, Size & Campus Life

Give consideration to a school’s location, size, and activities when researching colleges and career schools. Some students want to stay close to their families and others like the opportunity to go away to school to live on their own.
Do you want to go to school in a big city or a small town?
Do you want a small, intimate setting?
A school that’s big enough to be a city by itself? Or something in between?
​Keep in mind that the location of a school and your housing options can impact your overall cost.
Does the school offer activities and social opportunities you like?
Does it offer services you need?
Does it have a good campus security system?  
​
While the school’s website and the college search tool can help you determine some of these factors, a campus visit will help the most.
​Or, see if the school offers virtual tours of its campus.
