Decision Time

• Picking the right school: 
  • Many students use a pro-con list during decision time. Pick the categories you consider to be the most important and evaluate programs based on them
    • Factors you might consider:
      • Future career opportunities this program could lead to, including placement assistance
        
      • Cost: Not just tuition, but cost of living in that particular area
        
      • The atmosphere/The people/The culture: Can you see yourself assimilating into the community?
        
      • Location: Could you see yourself here long term?
        
      • Academics: What does the curriculum look like vs. the field experience you get?
        
      • Diversity: Does this institution have it? How much? How important is it to you?
        
      • You can’t put your finger on it, but it’s important enough to add to the list!
