Roll Tide! ​Congratulations to our student Jackson Bradford for receiving an acceptance from the University of Alabama!
​
​Located in college town Tuscaloosa, Alabama, the university is a large institution with an enrollment just over 29,000 undergraduate students. Its most popular majors mostly fall within the Culverhouse College of Business.
​
​Alabama students are known to be friendly, enthusiastic, and southern football fanatics! 'Bama's reknowned football program is a perennial powerhouse, having won five national championship titles since 2009. Greek life is also a big part of the social life with 42% of women joining sororities and 28% of men joining fraternities.
​
​The majority of students hail from out of state (61%). One student reviewer of the university has this to say "If you want a big campus with a lot of people, but also want a small campus feel Alabama is the place for you. While there are a lot of people that go here and classes can be big, the University offers many opportunities for smaller class sizes and many different interest groups so you can be a part of this large university without getting lost in the crowd."

​Congratulations to Bill Yan and Jackson Morrice on their admissions to Drexel University! ​Bill applied for a degree in Computer Science while Jackson applied to double major in Political Science and Environmental Studies and Sustainability 👏

Founded in 1891 in Philadelphia, Drexel has built its global reputation on core achievements that include:
​
➡️ Leadership in experiential learning through Drexel Co-op
​➡️ A history of technological firsts
➡️ Recognition as a model of best practices in translational, use-inspired research.
​
​"Drexel's campus is impressive for its downtown Philadelphia location, with gardens and greenery on every block," says a student, "but the campus is woven tightly into the fabric of the city." It lies within a 20-block radius in one of the most desirable parts of Philadelphia, with plenty of restaurants and stores.

Cooperative education is the hallmark of Drexel's curriculum, which alternates periods of full-time study and full-time employment for four or five years, providing students with six to 18 months of job experience before they graduate.
​
​The co-op possibilities, which more than 90 percent of undergraduates take advantage of, are unlimited: students can co-op virtually anywhere in the U.S. or in 38 other countries. Freshman and senior years of the five-year programs are spent on campus, and the three intervening years (sophomore, prejunior, and junior) usually consist of six months of work and six months of school. Most co-ops are paid, and the median six-month salary for co-op students is more than $18,000.

Tuesday Tips! 💡
​
Researching colleges can be stressful 😰 Here are a few tips to help you narrow down the best colleges for you!
​
​Start with an initial mix of enrollment size, public or private schools, setting (urban, rural, etc.), and in some cases, specialty schools (business, performing arts, technical, etc.).
​
​Whether virtual or in-person, we encourage students and at least one parent to go on the tours together so you can discuss mutual impressions of the tour and information sessions!
