[quote=Anonymous]Maybe it's because I'm an academic, but I just don't get this tourism approach to college choice. Is it just premised on the assumptions that the kid doesn't know what s/he will major in, ECs weren't actual interests so much as activities/resume enhancers, and what you learn in college doesn't matter -- it's just the degree and the GPA that matter, so which school is just a lifestyle choice? Why not start with interests and programs (conceived broadly because they do change or evolve), then look at finances and qualifications, then start visiting? [/quote]
