Choosing a college

The NY Times article, The College Decision From the Professors' Perspective was rather insightful to read. Its interesting to hear such information from a professor point of view. For the most part, I agree with what they were saying. Universities are becoming more business, if they are not already. This article made me realize, as consumers and perspective college students we take choosing a college lightly, but in reality its a huge decision and commitment. I think if we did choose a college with a business state a mind, how different would are choices be ? The part of the article that focused on "academics" was fascinating, because how much time do we have to visit a school more than twice, visit classes, and even analyze those classes. That can be rather difficult especially if one has never experienced college courses or don't have anything to compare the experience to. http://thechoice.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/04/09/jacobs-hyman/
