Unlocking the College Experience: Qualities of a College

Big school vs small school?  Public vs Private? Live on campus or commute? So many decisions…how do I go about figuring this all out!?

This workshop will focus on perhaps the most important aspect of college planning: What characteristics are you looking for in a college? Knowing what you want in a college can help you prioritize your needs and ultimately find the college that fits you best!

There are many reasons for deciding which colleges to apply to. Students and parents often jump in too fast or too late without taking into consideration the qualities that make the college a good fit for you. Understanding the better fit will likely result in a more positive experience during the first year because the student chose a school that was right for them!

Join John Diehl, one of our college advisors, for an hour-long workshop that will break down the areas to focus on when researching a college and offer guidelines to help students decide which areas are important to them. 

Date: Tuesday, March 5 - Closed

Time: 7:00pm-8:00pm

Cost: Complimentary!
