How College Works

We talk about what undergraduate research looks like for each of our majors and what students can expect if they are get involved. We also offer some advice on how to do that.

We go through a listicle from CollegeVine and break down how much we agree, or disagree, with their list of differences. https://blog.collegevine.com/10-ways-that-college-classes-differ-from-high-school/

We discuss the differences between High School and College midterm grades, what to do if you get lower grades than you want, and give some perspective about what grades mean to us.

We talk with our Vice President of Institutional Advancement about what that even is, what they do, and how it affects students.

We talk with one of our counselors about what going to counseling is like, what to expect, and why you might want to.

We talk with our Vice President for Student Life about what her job entails (basically everything) and what students should know when dealing with representatives from Student Life.

We talk about our own transitions from high school to college and how the habits we developed helped or hindered our first year in college.

We talk with our school's Registrar about what he does and what he can do for students.

We talk to Peter's PhD thesis adviser about what his job at a big school looks like and he offers some advice to college students.

We try to dig a little deeper into what different types of colleges have to offer and what went into our decisions when picking a college.
