How do you choose the right college?
Consumers today face increasingly complicated levels of decision making, from choosing a snack in a vending machine to selecting a pair of athletic shoes to buying a new car. But few consumer choices are more important than choosing a college - a decision that will affect you daily during your college years and influence the rest of your life. Doesn't it make sense to give it serious thought?
Sure, you could choose a college without thinking about it much at all. You could go to the same college as your best friend. You could make your decision based on an institution's attractive brochures or scenic campus. But would it be the best choice for you?
