First Thoughts on College Directions Blog

Going to college is a major life step and investment, not only in time and energy but also as in financial resources. This blog is designed to help students (and parents) gain some insights into the critical importance of their being well-prepared for and researching carefully the choices that are available for post-secondary education.

College is an educational pursuit and as such the learning aspects should be the primary focus for students on their preparation and enrollment in college. In addition, it is also a time of maturational growth and development in personal and social areas, and students need to be aware of and prepared for that aspect of college as well.

College Directions will focus on and comment upon the developmental aspects of preparing for and pursuing college and college admission, current topics in college admission, and the role that students and parents have in making this a successful transition into adulthood.
