Episode 22
The Fictional World of Campus Tours & "The Cookie Monster"
Takeaways
- Parents should ask their children questions about their college tours to understand what they are really looking for in a school.
- Students often focus on superficial aspects like cookies or the appearance of other students, rather than the academic programs or majors offered.
- It is important for parents to guide their children in making informed decisions about their college choices.
- Not all colleges offer the same majors, so it is crucial to research if a desired major is available at a particular school.
