We had a student this year insisting he only wanted to look at large schools. His entire list of must haves was in service to those opportunities. But here's the thing: he was an absolute perfect fit for St Johns, except they're not big and they didn't meet most of his must haves. We encouraged him to look anyway...and his must haves changed entirely once he realized what exists out there, what he didn't know before. He EDed and is headed to Santa Fe in the fall!
I’d love to read about experiences your students may have had on the subject. Thank you in advance!
