Assisting Seniors with College Choices

Posted by Tammy Andrew Sep 2, 2008

I returned to the classroom last week to welcome many familiar and new faces to my computer courses. I also received my latest update from the National Research Center for College and University Admissions (NRCCUA). For several years now I have had my students voluntarily take a research questionnaire to assist with a computer science study and receive valuable college information in return. It only takes a few minutes, and the feedback I get from students after receiving information in return has been primarily positive.

I also have seniors stopping by for recommendations for college admission. They are always a little nervous, not for asking me to write for them but because this is a big step. No matter how much preparation they receive (and here they get a lot!) it is scary to make a decision that you know will affect the rest of your life. The NRCCUA recently launched a new site, My College Options, that might make it a little easier if not less scary.
