Strategic College List Building: The Importance of Location for Your Teen

Welcome back, parents! In our ongoing series on building a college list for your high school student, we delve into one of the crucial pillars: location. Last week, we discussed the four key pillars – location, possible major, understanding strengths and interests, and career choice. Today, let's focus on why location plays a pivotal role in shaping your teen's college experience.

Understanding the Energy of a Campus

Choosing a college isn't just about academic fit; it's about finding a community where your teen feels a sense of belonging. Whether virtually or in person, experiencing the energy of a campus is vital. We explore the importance of your teen feeling emotionally and physically safe on campus and the significance of their contribution to the college community.

Day-to-Day Life Beyond Classes

College life extends far beyond the classroom. Consider what your teen will do once classes conclude. A compelling story illustrates how a warmer climate influenced a student to pursue environmental science, showcasing the impact of location on extracurricular choices and personal growth.

Opportunities for Internships and Jobs

Location isn't just about the present; it shapes your teen's future. Discover how the environment can provide opportunities for internships and jobs, influencing career paths and potential long-term residency. Planning for growth during the college years is essential.
