[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Looking for advice from families who have older kids in college…

My DS has his list narrowed down to a few very similar schools. With academics and cost being very comparable, I’m curious about some of the smaller day-to-day things that enhanced your kid’s college experience…also looking for negatives that they may not have considered when making their decision. Thanks![/quote]

By "academics" I am assuming you mean your student understands all coursework involved in graduating. And that they are ok taking all of those course requirements.

Career center for their major how does it work, internships same etc, career fairs what companies come. This is not always equal at all schools.

As for quality of life, how will said student get to and from school. If it's Indiana and they are coming to VA and MD what a pain at Thanksgiving etc... for example.

Apartments near campus costs etc.. for sophmore year and later how does that even work?

Health Center, urgent car off campus in case the Health Center sucks many do. Make sure they understand the Health Center can not give you ie parents any information the student is an adult in their eyes.
