College Day T-Chart Reflection

So, you all learned a ton of information from your college day visit. The whole purpose of the visit was to experience what college life is like and what different colleges have to offer. As part of the DREAM JOB project, you are selecting the college you plan to really go to in 5 years and complete a college application for that school.

There are 1,000s of colleges and universities to choose from in the US and if you decided to go out of the country, there are millions. How do you choose which one is right for you?Based on your visit yesterday, I'd like you to make a top 10 list of things you want in a college and top 10 things you don't want.

Example - You want a college that has lots of history to it
You don't want a college that doesn't offer extracurriular activities

You'll do this on a google doc and print it and place in your portfolio.
