[quote=Anonymous]My kids? Yes. They're intellectual and tend to take their time and weigh all the criteria that matter to them. I helped my oldest in that process: 1. We drew up a table with all the criteria we could identify and scored each college/university of interest based on geography, major reputation, course offerings, state of the campus, etc. We refined the table as we visited. 2. We visited all the colleges on his list. It gave us an important starting point for academics, but it wasn't enough, because a lot manage to hide their bad points. 3. The real eye-opener was when we returned for Admitted Students' Day, which is when they show their dorms, dining halls, and other important campus life features less guardedly. One university emerged as a clear winner after that. [/quote]
