What Will College Be Like This Fall?
Jul 26, 2023Like many parents and students, you're probably wondering what college will be like this fall. Many rising seniors are finalizing their college lists this summer, deciding where they will be applying to go to college. In the midst of the pandemic, no one really knows how long social distancing will be recommended or required on college campuses.
One of the key considerations for students these days is to think about the kind of educational experience they want: in-person, online, or a hybrid model? The Chronicle of Higher Education recently posted a list of colleges and their plans for reopening this fall. This is a good starting place for students doing research on colleges.
When we work with students, we help them decide on a final college list that has a good balance of safety, target, and reach schools. We usually recommend that students apply to 10-15 colleges so that they have plenty of colleges to choose from!
