Thank you We sneak College Wanna one introduction There are

00:11

thousands of colleges us so how are we supposed to

00:14

know where we want to go I think you have

00:18

to ask a lot of questions about yourself like first

00:20

of all why are you going to college What do

00:22

you hope to get out of that's in terms of

00:23

the degree that you might want to study or just

00:26

all the possibilities that you can take a different majors

00:29

You want to think about the size of the college

00:31

in terms of are you comfortable in a huge environment

00:33

like thirty thousand students Or do you want more like

00:36

fifteen hundred students where you walk around to know pretty

00:38

much everybody After a couple of years you want to

00:41

think about the setting in terms of the visit in

00:43

a town a small town a huge city like new

00:46

york or somewhere in between suburb You want to think

00:49

about the political nature which is something a lot of

00:52

people don't really think about until they get to college

00:54

and they think hey these people don't really dress like

i do you know what's with all the piercings the

00:59

tattoos the multiple hair colors or they want to go

01:01

to something a little bit more traditional um or school

01:14

And a lot of colleges will actually match this Ask

01:18

yourself why you're even going to college and what you

01:21

want to get out of it Think about the majors

01:24

offered by each college and how they match with your

01:26

goals Figure out what size college you want to attend

01:35

whether you want to go to school in a small

01:37
