Do You Know Where You Are Going?

The process of choosing a college should be a positive one, and it can be if students and their parents have a game plan. Students must identify schools that are good fits and then refine their list of schools to a reasonable number. Students and families should discuss some of the basic preferences, such as:

• Location of the college—Does the student want to live far from home or close enough for frequent visits? Does a small town or big city make a difference?
• Size/Type of school---Many students want to investigate both large universities and smaller liberal arts colleges before they narrow their list.
• Majors---Does the student have a special talent in music, art or sports? If so, is this something the student wants to consider as a major or to just enjoy as a recreation in college? It is perfectly fine to be undecided at this time.
• Costs---There is a big difference in costs between public and private universities. Financial aid also varies widely. At this early stage of the process, try not to rule out a college because of the price tag.

Marie Bigham, former associate dean of admissions at Washington University in St. Louis says, “I always encourage my students and families to remember that they are ultimately in control of this process. The students make the most important decisions in this process—where to visit, where to apply and at the end of the day, which college to attend. If we as counselors, parents and students have crafted a well-rounded and appropriate college list, then the students will have plenty of choices.” So, do your research and be true to yourself and before you know it you will know where you are going.
