Top Ten Things To Ask When Visiting A College Part IV (Final)

Here it is family, the top two questions to ask when visiting a college.  Again this series is applicable for all those heading out on organized college tours or just visiting campuses with your families.  I don't know if you've realized it or not but higher education has really become big business in the last few years.  Colleges and universities are competing for the best and brightest and visiting a school can often resemble a trip to the car dealership. Don't believe the hype and don't get so distracted by the pretty pictures and prepared speeches that you neglect to ask the real questions that you need to ask in order to determine whether a school is the right fit for you or not.   I really hope this series has been a help to you. I enjoyed doing it and please feel free to contact me with any questions.  Click the link below for the goods!

Top Ten Things To Ask When Visiting A College Part I (Repost)

Day light savings time usually marks the start of college tour season for many of my high schooling GlamNERDS. In addition to rest, relaxation  and ridiculous amounts of junk food, shopping, tea spilling, etc., you should be using your free time to visit some of the colleges that you're considering. College tours are not just a time to get out of town, hang out with your friends or gain a few days free from your parents domicile. They are also an excellent way to do some first hand research on the major investment that is also known as your college education.   You get to walk the halls, see the campus, eat the food, test the facilities and meet the faculty and students.  You generally don't buy a car without a test drive and I strongly advise you not attend a college at which you haven't taken the same precautions.  Click the link below for the first post of this week long series that will arm you with the top ten questions to ask when visiting a college!
