Review: Finding a College

You really don’t know what a college is like until you are physically there.We visited many medium-sized, private and religiously-based colleges in our area. The differences between them was simply shocking! They looked the same on paper, they looked similar on their promotional materials, and they had similar numbers in the US News and World Report College Guide. And yet when we saw them in person, the contrast was stark! Make sure you visit so that you and your child really KNOW which college is the best fit for them.
It’s a good idea to go for an “official” visit, so the college knows that you have been there. Most colleges have a similar process for visiting. Go to their website, click on “admissions” and then click on “visit.” It’s that easy! You can get lots of information about college visits on my DVD called “Finding a College,” and I’m sure it will really help. But really, all you NEED to find out is two things: can my student live there for 4 years, and can my student learn there for 4 years? If your child feels comfortable with those two things, then that’s one college to put in the “apply” category.A college safari is fun!
Still feel like you need help?Every step of the way, homeschoolers have the advantage. With our one-to-one student to counselor ratio, parents can ensure that their student doesn’t get overlooked or forgotten in the long process of finding a college.
Go on a college safari this year. I promise it will open your eyes to the wonders of the collegiate animal kingdom!
