Considering College – Career Training?
Compare costs of colleges in other states: public and private!
Stop-Determine:
Cost of Attendance— BE WARY OF THE WORD FREE;
Credit transferability—will they transfer to most colleges?
KNOW THE ACCREDITATION!
What are the hidden costs--if any?
Legitimate schools don’t have an enrollment contract.
What degree will I be receiving upon graduation?
CAUTION-Ask Yourself:
What are the entrance requirements? Is it just too easy to get in?
Am I feeling pressured to sign on the dotted line?
What is the schools reputation? (check with the
Better Business
Bureau)
Is the school using aggressive marketing tactics? Phoning?
Visiting your home?
Are the job placement numbers realistic?
Facilities: safe? clean? up-to-date?
Go:
I’ve talked to an independent source for enrollment information.
I’ve checked the instructors’/teachers’ qualifications; I’ve even
sat in on a class.
I’ve talked to recent graduates and asked about their
experiences.
I’ve compared at least two (2) schools regarding their award
packages.
I’ve slept on my decision and feel confident in my choice to
register.
