WHAT TO LOOK FOR IN PROSPECTIVE COLLEGES

Students should seek out schools that offer outreach or counseling programs to help freshmen matriculate into collegiate life. It’s more than just an enrollments numbers game.

“Students should ask themselves, ‘Do these schools care about my success?’ and ‘Is it more important for me to be admitted than to graduate?'” said Ontiveros. “Colleges should really be upfront and share information about their efforts because many students don’t know to ask these questions.”
