Why Is It Important To You?
When beginning the selection of a college, evaluating a student’s current preferences and activities is vital. Here are a few questions that a student can answer as they begin thinking about a college to attend:
- What do you like best about your current school?
- What do you like least about your current school?
- How do you feel about grades in school?
- If you were a teacher, how would you teach your classes?
- How would you say you learn best? (ex. one on one, group, lecture, interactive)
- What would you like to do when you are an adult?
- What possibilities for your future have you talked over with your parents?
- Do you have a role model? What is it about him/her you admire?
- Do you ever do things just because others expect you to do them that way?
- How do you deal with unpleasant aspects of your school?
- What is one thing that you hope to continue doing throughout your life?
- If you could learn a new skill, what would it be?
- How do you spend your free-time after school?
- Of all the things you do in your free time, which do you like most?
- Which of your free-time activities do you like least?
- Is there any particular organization or club you want to belong to? Why?
- Do you have a hobby which takes up a lot of your time? What is it?
- How did you get interested in your hobby?
- What are you saving money for?
- Do you like to take long walks? Which place do you like to walk to the most?
- What does your family usually do for Thanksgiving? Christmas?
By examining the answers to questions like these, a student can
begin to see what they value and how those values can play a role in their decision.
