CHAPTER 4

RESEARCHING SCHOOLS: GETTING ACQUAINTED

Is there one perfect university for you? Perhaps. Most likely, though, there are many schools that could be a great fit. A “great fit” college should match your interests, abilities, and needs. The right school for you will have an environment you’re comfortable with and programs to help you meet your long-term goals. Take into consideration academic programs and rigor, cost, geographic location, student body, clubs and activities, and your chance of admission. Each school has its unique personality. Whether visiting online, on campus or meeting with a school rep or alum, you’ll sense the distinct characteristics that differentiate one school from another.

“I would like to say that students should always look for the right fit college and not be influenced only by the big name or the rank. Further, both applicants and admissions officers are partners in this endeavor and we have the same goal: students success.”

—Musa Khalidi, Executive Director International Admissions, St. Lawrence University
