#2801 BChoosing the right CollegeThis class is aimed at high school students and parents who are about to begin the college selection process. There is a lot of myth and hype in circula-tion about “best colleges.” And there are well over 2,000 colleges from which to choose. We will address some of these myths and attempt to defuse some of the hype. There is no single best college or group of best colleges. The most important question is—which college is best for you? We will share some approaches and tools to help you begin to answer that question for yourself. High school students may bring their parents for free.CONVENER: Greg Brown. Ph.D .CLASS FEE: $9Sec.
