May is quickly approaching. In just 20 short days your student will be required to choose which college they will be attending. For many, the choice is easy–they received an offer of admission from their first choice college. Or is it? Are there things you should consider? And what if your student didn’t receive an offer of admission from her first choice college? What are her options? How can she choose the right school for her and be happy? And here’s a kicker–what if she received an offer of admission to her dream college, but the money to pay for it just isn’t there?
All these questions, and more are answered in an article I wrote for Zinch about weighing your college options before making your final college decision. Following are the topics covered:
- Compare the financial differences
- Discuss the decision with others
- Ask questions
- Consider factors unrelated to the education
- Delve further into academics
- Explore the campus
- Make a pro/con list
The college your student attends is an important decision. Before you mail off that card to a college or accept online, you should weigh your options.
