  12. FINAL WORDS • The quality of a university is measured more by the kind of student it turns out than the kind it takes in. Robert J. Kibbee • The "best college" is the one that is right for you. It is a quality option if for no other reason than it is the college that will best meet your needs. It fits. It might not hold the cachet or ranking that impresses your friends, but it does fit your aptitude and needs. Peter VanBuskirk • Start thinking for yourself. Start looking for a team you want to play on, where you can be a starter every day and at least occasionally a star. Donald Asher
