COLLEGE VISITS


Get as much done before the senior year that you can!

 When you visit the colleges you think are your  child's top picks, while they are busy with an interview or visiting a class, go to the campus bookstore. Purchase something small, like a key chain or a car window sticker -- something that has the school logo on it. When your child makes the final decision, you can present your child with this surprise. It's fun and it let's him/her know you're proud of the choice!

When you visit a college -- keep your eyes and ears open. Your student will pick up on some things -- you will pick up on others. Look for issues that point to student safety issues.
 
 

COLLEGE APPLICATIONS


The application process is difficult and time consuming. Help by supporting your teen -- don't do their work for them. Help your teen stay on track and get all of the forms submitted on time. Help them bridge the world of high school to the world of college.
 
 
 
 

COLLEGE INTERVIEWS

College entrance or scholarship interviews should be viewed just as job interviews are -- they are important. They are two-way streets. Help your teen prepare for this important step by listening and role playing.
