What is College Fit?
You have probably heard this term a lot already. Your counselor talks about it, your parents are looking for it. What is it? What is college fit?
Think of fit as a picture of college that brings four elements together to make the best fit for you. Consider Academic, Social, Physical, and Financial perspectives. YOUR best fit may not be the same as the best fit for your friend or your older sibling. Find the right combination that will make your college experience meaningful for you.
Take Action
Record your thoughts and notes about each school you are considering in a file on your computer called My Colleges or Interested Colleges. Be sure to mention each of the four areas of fit – Academic, Social, Physical, and Financial. Your parents can join the conversation and add their thoughts too.
You can use this information as a starting point to create your own custom search for schools that could be a good fit for YOU!
