        Educational facilities are very important for students in their education and their life as a whole. As a student, you should take into consideration school facilities in your decision-making towards choosing a school to apply in.

• List – You can start evaluating the different schools you are considering by making a list. You can make a list of what you are looking for in a school or a list of the schools and what educational facilities they feature best. You can make these two lists as cross-reference against each other to decide better. It is important to have a list of what you are looking for in a school so that you will know what you really want and not be misled in the decision-making process.

• Weigh – After making an initial list, you can add to the educational facilities as a factor other factors like transportation and quality of education which can or should be your priority. You need to include academic quality, facilities and location because they are very important factors. A school may have a very attractive facility but can be located in a place which is very far or very hard to travel to.

• Eliminate – Rank the schools based on the most important factors in their order of importance. For example you can start with academic prestige, continue with facilities and conclude with location. You may decide between going to a school which has a spoon-feeding orientation, has a facility which is very conducive to studies but you are already bored with because you studied there in your high school or a school which poses a great challenge to the motivation of the students and a new and exciting environment in which you can develop your character.
