I find it hard to find fault with a school that does everything it needs to do to help its students to earn a degree, find a direction and build their network. Agnes Scott College appears to do a good job at all three for the woman who believes that it will be the right fit. Some in my profession might consider Agnes Scott a “hidden gem,” though the college has been educating young women since 1889.

Agnes Scott College (GA), an all-female institution, is one of the College That Change Lives for several very good reasons.

This week I had a guest post on Higher Ed Insights, a well-circulated newsletter and Substack in my profession.

The admissions process increasingly looks like consumer sales, but the financial consequences are anything but ordinary.

To me direct admissions are much like the targeted admissions mailings. The major difference is that prospective students who are likely to be admitted are invited to apply, usually for no charge. However, be careful when you hear or read the phrase direct admission. In some cases it can be an early and easy path to college. In other cases, especially in high demand programs such as nursing, there could be additional hurdles in store.

One of the more recent changes in college admissions is direct admissions programs. To me direct admissions are much like the targeted admissions mailings. The major difference is that prospective students who are likely to

I really like the University of Arizona for students who want the honors college experience but live in Arizona ior other states where admission to an honors college will be far more difficult. But if you want a football school in a mountain state, it might be better to look at the University of Utah.

Californians have looked towards the University of Arizona as an attractive alternative to their state university systems. I wanted to learn more. So, I did some research. I also made a Pinterest page that you

I can understand why many prospective students will like TCU. It has the vast selection of majors, sports and social activities found at a very large school but also has a student body that’s smaller than most any flagship state university. TCU is seeing potential for growth at a time when other schools fear downward trends in high school enrollments.

Texas Christian University (TCU) attracts ambitious students and ambitious expansion plans. Read more at educatedquest.com !

Syracuse has a blend of academics, spirit and sports that appeals to many students from many places as long as they can deal with the downsides, though those will minimize as the community’s economy grows once more. The education and experience is much like going to USC. Only the weather is much colder and basketball will be the more dominant sport.

Syracuse University offers virtually everything that students could hope to expect from their flagship state university, if you can cover the costs!

I updated this story on the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Most importantly, it includes an interview with Ashley Swengler, Regional Recruitment Manager for Nj, NY and PA, Ashley gave several "pro-tips" for future Badgers as well as some announcements of advancements in the computer science programs. This is one of the most enjoyable interviews I have done and I hope that any potential Badger family takes the time to listen!

UW-Madison checks all the boxes for many who want a big university experience. Read more at EducatedQuest.com!

I have seen colleges that model curricula on classical education, leadership development, basic STEM principles and experiential learning, but not all four together in an independent (non-religious) environment. The University of Austin (UATX) is a controversial, but interesting institution. One thing it has shown: proven educational models of the past can work in the present when the resources are there to execute them properly

The University of Austin (UATX) is America;s newest college. UATX combines proven educational models and serious academic rigor.

Penn State has given a lot to a lot of people for a long time. But it also asks most of them to pay or borrow more. Brand recognition is strong enough to overcome a demographic cliff and many of the academic resources are quite impressive. But unless one is from Pennsylvania, it's become more common to look for less expensive options for football and fun.

If you believe that more is better and big is best you will like Penn State-University Park
