How to know which STAR to use?

Hey.
Surely this is a silly question for lots of you, but I'm going to ask anyway.
So being a newbie, flight school's arrivals were always the same, and there was only one STAR, so it became easy of course.
Now for example today flying into our destination, the flight plan had an arrival for us for the runway. Even in this case, surely it won't be the one we should use all the time.

Today the runway changed, and the ATC gave us the name of the new STAR, but the captain said that they don't usually do that.
Some places have so many different arrivals for a certain runway.
How do I know which one I'm supposed to use?

Appreciate any advice/help.
Thanks.
