If you’ve been putting off joining clubs, it is still not too late to join new clubs.

With college application season approaching, it’s time to start considering what you want from your college experience. Factors to consider: location, majors offered, internship opportunities, cost, admission requirements, and selectivity. A good place to start — purchasing the most recent Fiske Guide (find it on Amazon).
