What I hope to accomplish by going to college is getting the education I need, my major in what I'm studying in, and better opportunities in the future. I am going to college for myself and my parents/family. Reason why is so that they know I'm trying to go somewhere with my life instead of juts wasting it. Some characteristics that mostly matter on choosing a college is if it fits you best, it has what you want to study in, and commitment. I would go to somebody who has enough experience with college and get there input because they know what its like and have dealt with almost everything you need to know or do. College will definitely help me achieve my goals in the future because during college it's going to me be more responsible, I will know how to use my time, knowing what's right from wrong when it comes to a decision, and I'd be ready for what comes next.
