I want to ask about past complaints, how could I research the school's reputation?
You can contact your Better Business Bureau, state higher-education agency, or the consumer protection division of your state attorney general's office to check if the school has received any complaints. You can also check with the agency that licenses or credits the school to see if they meet the required standards.
the safest thing is that it meets the required standards since I read most of these but what are the terms that I can choose when deciding for a college school?
You can choose between a two-year community and junior colleges or a four-year college and university.
