Each student’s college search is very different.

We will talk about common factors such as size and location, majors, and student involvement (athletics, arts, organizations). We will also discuss factors you may not think to consider; examples include academic and career support resources, first generation and undocumented student services, study abroad, and internships. We hope to see you there!
