[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Juniata — Visited for Eagle for a Day and another day-long group program

Loved the environmental program, research station, and job placement.

Museum and strong campus museum opportunities are a nice touch. Our tour guide was enthusiastic about clay and we said yes to a tour of the ceramics studio. Lovely experience.

Kalamazoo College—

This offers walking distance to a thriving smaller city with things to do. While the campus is small, the city makes it feel larger. Nice gym. Like their four-year project requirement.
Diverse.

Received good merit at both schools that brought it below in state. In the end, student wanted a big school.

[b]Our family decided I should have attended Juniata.😂 I’d have enjoyed a smaller school but I didn’t know about them way back. [/b]

LOL parent of a Juniata kid here. I think the same. I got some mailings from LACs back in my day but couldn't wrap my head around the idea of a college smaller than my high school and my parents (who didn't go to college) never took me to tour one. But, I did choose a smaller public U that was really undergraduate-focused vs. the big name state flagship so I did have a sense of that undergrad experience really mattering. [/quote]

One of my parents dropped out of college and the other went to a service academy so neither was any help to me, unfortunately.

I ended up at the Big State. It was okay but I could have benefitted from counseling around my choice of major and so on.

It’s amazing to see how just having the internet opens up info like different majors and what professions those lead to and so on.

Oh, I also did not visit any college campuses as a kid. I was surprised when my high schooler wanted to visit campuses. 😂 I “visited” my college campus at orientation.

At least I could do better for my own kid. 😄
