　　Don’t focus on rankings

　　It’s easy to focus too hard on school rankings，but don’t let that make your decision for you when you’re looking at colleges.In the long run，rankings probably won’t have a big effect on your education.It’s OK to look at rankings，but don’t obsess(过于执着)over them.Find colleges that really interest you.If they end up being on a top list，think of it as an extra pleasure.

　　Think about your future

　　Here’s an important question to ask all of the colleges on your list：How many of your students find jobs after graduation？An Ivy League school may look good on an application，but what will the college do to help you find a job?

　　Students should also make sure they’re going to college for the right reasons.

　　University of Illinois sophomore(二年级学生) Steve Wang said he has met students who aren’t looking at the bigger picture.“I see a lot of students who go to college for the sake of the college experience—not for a higher education.” Wang explained.“So people show up and spend a lot of time at parties and not really paying attention to schoolwork.That’s not really what college is for.”
