Choosing a college is a huge step. Many Christian students worry about being able to continue honoring God at college amidst all the pressures and new responsibilities that come with this new chapter in your life. A lot of people will have opinions about where you should go and what you should study, but really, only one thing matters: God's plan for you.
In order to understand God's wishes for the direction of your life you need to pray and listen and be watchful. God will reveal his plan for you in his own time. As Proverbs 16:9 says: "A man's heart plans his way, but the Lord directs his steps" (NKJV). God will also redirect your life and your plans if you are heading in a direction He did not intend.
The good news is that no matter where and what you choose to study, as long as you continue honoring God at college you really can't go wrong.
