Course Overview
Choosing a college is tough. It is a complicated and overwhelming choice. It is also a choice that has a massive impact on a students future. A lot of emphases is put on the college APPLICATION process. Deadlines. Letters of References. Financial Aid. College Essays. Yes, those are important, but if you do not choose the right college for you, then what does the rest of it matter? If you are not taking the time to discover what type of environment you need to succeed, then you may end up spending all that time and money applying to colleges that will do nothing to help you succeed in the real world. At the end of the day, it is about choosing a college that fits your needs as a person.
In this course, we will walk through the entire college SELECTION process to ensure you choose the college that will help you achieve your goals, create the best version of yourself as possible, and give you the best possible chance to succeed when you enter the real world. This course will help you discover your passion and start your path to that ideal career.
Together, we are going to figure out what career path is going to align with your core values and desires. We are also going to figure out what type of learning environment you need to succeed. Lastly, we are going to dive headfirst into the college research and campus visiting phase. We are going to talk about what to look out for, what questions to ask, and most importantly, “What makes that college worth it”? Also, since we are on the topic of money, we are going to spend some time talking about students loans, so you feel comfortable making a smart, educated, choice for yourself and your financial future.
Why This Course?
When I started my journey and mission of inspiring students to get serious about preparing for the real world, I started by interviewing and surveying as many college graduates as I could. The purpose of the exercise was to learn what they regretted when it comes to their time as a student. What mistakes they made, the opportunities they missed, and things they wish they could do differently.
One of the most common topics was how they went about choosing a college. They did not take the time to do the very things I talk about in this course. They did not do the proper research, ask the right questions or find the college that best fit their needs. This course is a collection of graduate advice, pearls of wisdom, stern warnings, and honest truths about the importance of choosing the right college and preparing for the real world that awaits you.
