What do i do when it's time to decide where to go to college?

We humans make plans, but the Lord has the final word. We may think we know what is right, but the Lord is the judge of our motives. Share your plans with the Lord, and you will succeed ( Proverbs 16 : 1-3 )

Choosing a college is a big decision, but not too big for God. As you and your parents begin to narrow the field, make sure you are continually convering the whole process in prayer. If God directs your steps, Proverbs 16:3 says you'll succeed. Your plans have no strength if they're not from God. Begin by choosing the schools that interest you and have a curriculum in your field of study. Then pray about it. Visit some campuses. Then pray about it.Apply for scholarships and grants. Then pray about it. Talk over finances with your parents. Then pray about it. Go through the acceptance letters and ask yourself, "Can I honour God and live a life that glorifies him at any of these schools?" If the answer is no, then throw out the losers, and choose from the remainder. Between you and God and your parents, you are sure to make a wise decision and have a great four years in collge.

See for yourself : Psalms 37:5, Proverbs 3:6, Matthew 6:33

The above is entirely taken from : The Promise Bible For Students, Contemporary English Version
