Get answers and guidance from an admissions counselor!
As you’re exploring colleges and universities, you may be thinking – what do I need to know? How do I choose the right college? Admissions counselors help students like you with these questions, so we asked some of our counselors what you should know before you make a decision on where to attend. Here is some information they say you should gather as you consider where to attend college:
- Think about the environment you want to live in – for instance, do you want to be in a bustling city? Or a more rural setting? Or a small city that offers both?
- Consider how large or small you want your campus and classes to be, and how closely you’ll want to work with professors.
- Make sure to ask how much your education will cost, and what your options are for financial aid.
- Think about what you might want to study. If you think you’ll want to learn about a variety of things, or if you’re not certain about your major yet, consider attending a school that offers lots of degree options.
- Ask what the process is for admission, what the standards are, and learn about deadlines that you need to make.
- Get a clear picture of the kind of housing options you’ll have on campus, and off campus for future years.
- And don’t forget to ask about what you can do for fun on campus, and off campus.
