问题    How can you find colleges that match your needs’?. First, identify your priorities. Next, carefully research the characteristics of a range of schools. Finally, match the two. Here are some college characteristics you should consider.
   Size of the Student Body
   Size will affect many of your opportunities and experiences. When considering size, be very sure to look beyond the raw number of students attending. For example, perhaps you’ re considering a small department within a large school. Investigate not just the number of faculty, but also how accessible faculty members are to students.
    Academic Programs
    If you know what you want to study, research reputations of academic departments by talking to people in the fields that interest you. If you’ re undecided, relax and pick an academically balanced institution that offers a range of majors and programs. Most colleges offer counseling to help you find a focus.
    In considering academic programs, look for special opportunities and pick a school that offers many possibilities.
    Campus Life
    Consider what your college life will be like beyond the classroom. Aim for a balance between academics, activities, and social life. Before choosing a college, learn the answers to these questions:
     (1) What extracurricular activities, athletics, and special interest groups are available?
     (2) Does the community around the college offer interesting outlets for students?
     (3) Are students welcomed by the community?
     (5) Is there an ethnic or religious group in which to take part?
    Cost
    Today’ s college price tag makes cost an important consideration for most students. At the same time, virtually all colleges work to ensure that academically qualified students from every economic circumstance can find financial aid that allows them to attend. In considering cost, look beyond the price tag.
    Diversity
    Explore what you might gain from a diverse student body. Think about the geographic, ethnic, racial, and religious diversity of the students as a means of learning more about the world. Investigate what kinds of student organizations or other groups with ethnic or religious foundations are active and visible on campus.
    Retention and Graduation Rates
    One of the best ways to measure a school’ s quality and the satisfaction of its students is to learn the percent of students who return after the first year and the percent of entering students who remain to graduate. Comparatively good retention and graduation rates are indicators that responsible academic, social, and financial support systems exist for most students.  
As life on campus is not confined to classroom, students should strive a balance between ______.
