[quote=Anonymous]People seem to forget the goal of college is to get out and get a job. This is not an easy task nowadays.

Please check the major your student is interested in at each college. Not all colleges have companies come for interviews, not all colleges have a track for every major. Make sure your student is comfortable with job-seeking if the college does not make that a priority. Of course, this part is usually easier for CS, Eng, finance, accounting, because those companies come. But Anthropology or communications might be on your own so how does the college help  Just examples...

After acceptances, please look at coursework it varies from college to college. For example, one of the colleges one of my DC decided to attend required 2 years of a language. They would not accept AP and or community college credits,  only taking a foreign language at school. Hence my child is a horrible student in languages, give them any other subject excellent grades. Almost did not graduate as a B was required not a C.    [/quote]
