Decision Time

The acceptance letters have been sent out and now, students have the power to choose what university they would like to attend. The roles have been switched and colleges are eagerly anticipating how large the incoming class will be the following year. Students no longer have to sweat it out; instead the colleges need to. Before even submitting a deposit, however, students should make the effort to take a campus tour of their prospective schools. Also, students should examine what the campus has to offer in terms of social organizations, the surrounding environment (i.e. rural, urban setting), and also academic opportunities. In addition, one of the most important items on the list is the financial aspect. Is there financial aid? How much is tuition? What scholarships are offered? Come May 1st, students must submit their final decision to their number one choice and hope that they made the right pick.
