President Barack Obama has some great advice to offer for his daughter Malia Obama and all the students who will be going opting for colleges.

Addressing the students of Des Moines in Iowa, President Obama said that one piece of advice which he gave to her daughter was not to stress too much about having to get into one particular college, and added that there were a lot of good colleges and universities, People reported.

He said that just because it (college or university) was not some name-brand, famous, fancy school, it did not mean that you (students) were not going to get a great education there.
