College Life

ConclusionI have benefited from searching colleges and careers in

Freshman Foundations because I now have a bigger range of majors, colleges and careers to choose from. Without this class, I would never have found these colleges and careers, and I might not even have found the initiative or website to find them. I certainly would not have found the costs, selectivity and other info as quickly and efficiently without this class, namely without Kudernavigator, which is a great website to search for colleges and careers.

One downside was the search for scholarships, of which almost none appealed to me, as it seemed to me that there were too many different requirements to get the scholarship, and they were all almost the same.

I would like to learn more about the pros and cons of colleges, so that I could decide which one is best for me, because looking at the schools website is not a reliable way to decide what the good and bad of the school is.

To make this even more beneficial to students than it already is, I would try to suggest different ways to get the information they want, so that they have more than one site to find what they need.

I would definitely recommend Kuder to other students. It is a very informative and efficient way to find information, even of it does sometimes not have the data you need.
