It's essential to look at your other responsibilities to figure out if now is the right time to return to school.

• Is now the best time to return to school?


• Since you'll be in school for anywhere from a few months to several years, what future commitments may conflict with your education?

Going back to school is not a solo event and will affect those close to you as well. Think about these personal questions.

• Are you ready to be a student?


• Are you willing to do homework, take tests and attend lectures?


• Do you feel a burning desire to return to college? (If not, you might want to reassess whether you are truly ready to go back.)


• Do you have a support network of family and friends who can encourage you through your studies as well as assist you during busy times?

This is the end of the test. Not all of these questions can be easily answered, but by forcing yourself to think about these issues you should have a much clearer idea of why you want to return to school, what's important to you and what kind of program will match your goals.

We hope you found the "What I Want" Test helpful and are closer toward finding the best college fit for you.
