Some serious and not so serious ideas for this Friday afternoon...
1. The college admissions process is full of myths and misunderstandings. These common misconceptions only scratch the surface, but it's a good place to begin.
2. I don't know too many students that start with the Career Services office when visiting a college campus, but these days it might not be a bad idea. Your parents would probably agree! Check out this article on how to evaluate a career center.
3, To prove there is a ranking for almost everything, here's a list of the colleges where students order the most late night food http://huff.to/1kSlWuz and a list of colleges that are considered the most polite. Another option might be to consider how "green" your college is. For more information about colleges with green initiatives, check out this article from The Guardian. And have you ever considered which football stadiums have the best food? See for yourself! Everyone has a different opinion about what is important to them in a college, so why not consider all your options?
4. Perhaps the most fun college news I've seen this week is this: the BBC is reporting that the University of Cambridge is looking for someone who wants to focus on chocolate. To be clear, the chemical engineering and biotechnology departments will offer the degree, and it will "focus on such issues as preventing melting in warm regions." Why not?
Have a safe weekend everyone!
