[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That's why kids who pick schools that have nice dorms, good food, great amenities etc have a much better college experience than kids who pick schools based on the academics.

People laugh at High Point but it is like living in a Four Seasons hotel. [/quote]

Umm my kids picked their schools for their academic offerings. They certainly weren’t picking based on dorms. One ended up in a crappy one and was fine with it. [/quote]
How did they pick off of "academic offerings." Most of the things my department offers to students is inaccessible if you don't have a college email and tours do not go through our labs. Applicants hardly know anything about what we offer.[/quote]

Department web pages, word of mouth, visitation (we toured department spaces) and course catalogs.[/quote]
I still don't think this gives you even 1/10 of my department offerings, but okay. I'm sure it's different for Non-STEM, but it's very difficult to accurately guess your academic space. I didn't know while signing up that my intro professor has contacts with 3 national labs that essentially auto-hire our students, because he served on a board there, that we have a research team here working for NASA, and that there's a string of student labs that you can join and get paid to research with Seniors as PIs, none of that is on the website, you won't see it on a tour, and it's definitely not in the course catalog.[/quote]
