My mother used to ask me, “How do you feed an alligator?”
“Very carefully.”
The same sensibility applies to choosing a college. A college may not clamp its toothy jaw around your arm and rip it off, it’s still a good idea to be careful in choosing the right college for you.
Too many kids choose a college based on the wrong criteria. They look too hard at the architecture, they fret too much about the climate, and they obsess about climbing walls.
As educators, we try to keep the focus where it should be: on your education. While the some of the atmospheric issues of architecture and climate–and the amenities like climbing walls–can factor into the choice, we want to help you be sure to consider the kinds of educational environments that will help you succeed. We want to help you identify the resources, both material and human, that you need in order to propel you personal and professionally into the future.
And the thing is, what’s right for one kid could be just awful for another. Every student is different, and every student wants and needs different things out of their college education.
So at Great College Advice, we take the time and give the care necessary to help you identify the criteria that will drive your college choice.
And then based on our experience, we will help you identify the colleges and universities that meet those criteria.
It’s a fun an exciting process. No alligators.
