Contemplating Colleges? Our Decision Worksheet Can Help

This article was updated in September 2023 to incorporate the latest university statistics.

Choosing where to spend the next four of your life on a path toward a future career is a huge decision, and chances are you’re dealing with a ton of questions: Where do I want to live? Who will I meet there? What can I study? What else can I pursue while there?

花椒直播 understands those questions and is here to help you make the best decision for yourself. We have taken some of the most frequent questions that our students have asked during their explorations of where to go, and we’ve created a Decision Day worksheet to help you take note of the things you most want to include in your higher education experience.

Here are some of the most pressing questions about student life, academics and value of a college education. We encourage you to use the fillable College Decision Worksheet (PDF) to compare your top schools and see which one best suits your needs.
