- Pell Grant and SEOG: Is your household income over $50,000?
Yes
You will most likely not qualify for a Pell Grant or SEOG.
Solution: Don't Worry, there are other opportunities—if you know what you are doing. Go to the next question.
No
You may qualify for a Pell grant or SEOG if your EFC (Expected Family Contribution) is lower than the Pell Grant threshold of $4,731. How much you receive depends on how much lower. Basically you receive the difference. Most SEOG Money goes to Pell Grant recipients so you may also get some from that.
Solution: File your FAFSA in a timely matter and you should get Pell Grant and SEOG grant money.

No

- Do you believe in God?
Yes
Many professors don't. They are going to drip on you everyday and try to wear down your beliefs. Are you prepared for that? Really? Many students thought they were, but now too many of them have been indoctrinated and think the way the unbelieving professors want them to.
Solution: You'll want to read the chapters called The College Campus Experience—It Matters, and A Heavenly College Education, and The Crown — Liberty, Virtue, and Intelligence, and Thus Far, and Reliance on the Lord is the Right Foundation, and The Big Picture, and How Professors Trick Students Into Losing Their Faith...How to Stop Them Cold, and Truth Exists—Students Can Learn How To Seek It, and The Pillar of MORALITY. These and other writings in the book will help prepare you with critical knowledge you need to put things in the right perspective and keep them there.
No
You can go to practically any state college and many of the well known private ones and you will be at one with a lot of the professors.
I have to tell you though, atheism can be just as blind as religion. I am someone that has learned to look at more than one side of an issue and to get different perspectives and learn truth wherever I can. I tell you that there is a God and everything I study from any source that is real and not just someone's biased texbook opinion points to God. Over and over again new knowledge I gain and facts I learn confirm my faith. I am not afraid of truth and I hope you won't be either. The only thing to be afraid of is indoctrination. Don't settle for it. Find truth for yourself.

- Do you believe in Liberty or Socialism?
Liberty
Many professors don't. They are going to attempt to indoctrinate you to believe in their biases, without providing balanced original sources for you to judge for yourself. The way your papers will be graded will be in part determined by how much you go along with their beliefs. Are you prepared for that?
Solution: Read the chapters called The Crown—Liberty, Virtue, and Intelligence, and The Pillar of INTELLECT, and The Pillar of CITIZENSHIP, and The Declaration of Dependence, and The Pillar of MORALITY, and A Conversation with Justice Clarence Thomas. Learn why your job and your future depend on you understanding liberty and socialism, and the cause and effect each has.
Socialism
Congratulations, go to practically any state college and many of the well known private ones and you will be at home. Please understand though that you will not learn about the roots of socialism and what its true aim is, and you will not get a careful comparison of it versus capitalism. Instead you will only hear over and over how much more wonderful socialism is than capitalism.
Solution: If you are going to believe in socialism at least get a real education on what it is. Read the chapters called The Crown—Liberty, Virtue, and Intelligence, and The Pillar of INTELLECT, and The Pillar of CITIZENSHIP, and The Declaration of Dependence, and The Pillar of MORALITY, and A Conversation with Justice Clarence Thomas. Find out about the books referenced therein and read them, and learn why your job and your future depend on you understanding liberty and socialism, and the cause and effect each has.

- Do you want to learn how to think, analyze, and gain intelligence?
Yes
Most colleges don't allow it. To them you are just a bucket-head waiting to receive exactly what they pour in, and nothing more. This is true of most left-leaning colleges, but it doesn't end there, some right-leaning religious colleges are also guilty.
Solution: You need to now what a real education is like so you can know what to look for in a college. Read the chapters called The Big Picture, and The Pillar of INTELLECT, and Truth Exists—Students Can Learn How to Seek It, and Study Experientially—Use Original Works and Great Books, and Mentors Facilitate A Nurturing Environment and Collaboration, and The Magical Procession of Greater Learning. Your eyes will be opened to how to get a real education that teaches you how to think, analyze, and gain intelligence and get some skills that make your degree really worth something.
No
You are like a lot students who are just going to get a degree. Have fun! If gaining knowledge is not important, and you aren't worried about having the right skills to gain good employment, then a degree is all that matters. What a lot of students do in this situation is learn how to cheat.
Solution: While the book does discuss what a serious problem cheating is and how to find a college where students don't want to cheat and where real learning takes place, it does not have any tips or tricks for you on how to cheat so you'll have to find other sources.

- Do you want to go to a college where you feel safe, and will be in an environment that inspires you, or do you want to party to the max?
Safe and Inspiring
Many colleges are not safe places. They are however, a lot of fun if you like venereal diseases and puking, which you have to admit are not boring things. Good luck trying to be in an environment where you can be inspired.
Solution: The chapter called How to Find A Heavenly College will provide you with a lot of tools and tips on how to find the right college where you will have fewer worries about drugs, alcohol, acquaintance rape, and so forth, and can have clean fun and get a real education while you're at it, which is presumably the reason for going.
Party to the Max
Sure there are certain colleges that have the big party reputation, but the truth is, most colleges will accommodate you just fine. However there are some select colleges that could end up being pretty boring for you, although they will smell better.
Solution: Use the book in reverse. The same tools and tips (mentioned above in the Safe and Inspiring solution) that the book shows readers how to use to find non-party colleges, or in other words Heavenly Colleges, can help you know which ones to avoid. And the Safe and Inspiring people will appreciate you for going elsewhere. Actually the tools I give you can be used to find a college where students do drugs and alcohol, but where intellectual freedom is allowed and a some of the other traits of a good education are present. At least if you choose a college like that you can be expanding your mind at the same time as you are blowing your mind. You will kill off many brain cells but the ones that are left will have a chance at being smarter.
