As we've discussed in previous blog posts, there are a lot of things to consider when choosing a college: majors offered, of course, but also location, campus climate, activities, cost, and many others.
Read the Blog Post "Finding Balance in Your College Choices" from the Counselor's Corner Blog. Then reflect on what is important to you in your college or career training experience. Think about the following factors:
- location
- climate
- community - who you will be interacting with
- size - large campus or small community
- academic or professional support services available
- cost
- cultural or entertainment options
- distance from home
- etc.
Next, fill out this college inventory. After you have completed the inventory, revisit the four colleges you chose in last week's assignment. Do you feel they fit your needs (both academic and non-academic)? Identify at least 2 colleges or training programs that you feel are a good fit (these may or may not be the same programs you chose last week). Spend at least 15 minutes on the website of each college or training program, and write 1-2 paragraphs for each in the ways they do and do not fit the preferences you identified last week and in the college inventory.
Turn the inventory and the reflection in to your EF.
