Top 7 Considerations for Choosing a College
- Academic level and educational standard- the college should match the student’s level of academics and family’s standard for a college education; offering a relative degree of academic challenge commensurate with the student’s overall academic level
- Cultural compatibility– the student population should fit within the cultural make-up of the student, related to the student’s upbringing, heritage, sophistication, religious preferences (if any), and community setting
- Social interests– the college needs to offer a mix of on-campus social activities common with the student’s personal interests and should also include proximity to preferred towns or cities for off-campus activities
- Job opportunity– the college should offer career-related activities to interested students, such as research projects, community events, internships, study abroad, and cooperative education; we call this- connecting with the academic community of the college for enhancing job opportunity
- Geographical preference– the college should be located in an area of the country that appeals to the student while providing suitable access of the parents
- Affordability– the college must be affordable to the parents for it to qualify as a good college fit
- For athletes, a real opportunity for playing college sports– there must be trust and confidence that the athlete will be given a fair chance to make a team and have success when given playing opportunity
The final decision: The college process is designed for a decision to be made in April, with all known information and expectations considered as we described above. An enrollment deposit will then be due by May 1.
