What makes a good college fit...the finale.

Before we wrap up this first week of September, I have a few more comments to make about what makes a college a good fit.

There are many more questions a prospective student can ask, such as:

1. What health and counseling services are available?
2. What career counseling or job services are available, and how soon can students take advantage of them?
3. What spiritual opportunities are there for students? 
4. Do students from different cultures and religions interact with each other? What about students with differing political or social views?
5. And one of my favorites, how are women treated on campus? Are there women in major leadership positions - students, faculty, and administration?  

All of these things may not be important to you right now, but you have to think big picture.  They will be somewhere down the road and perhaps sooner than you think.

In the end, the decision will be up to you.  Some students have that tingling feeling when they walk on a campus...it just feels right.  But don't be disappointed if that doesn't happen to you.  If you will take your time, ask more in-depth questions, do your research, and then put all that information together, you will end up with several colleges on your list that will fit you just fine.

Have a safe weekend, everyone!
