Making the "Big Decision"


How do you go about making one of the biggest decisions you've ever made?  No, no, no, stop tossing that coin and put it back in your college-savings piggy bank!  We thought you'd like to find out how some other students made their choices about college so we interviewed a small group of college seniors from three liberal arts institutions.  We asked them to share their stories about making the "Big Decision" to provide you, the prospective student, with some useful advice as you begin to whittle down your mountain of brochures into actual college applications.  We also took the liberty of tossing in our own two-cents-worth and offer you some additional advice based upon the research that we've been doing here at the Center of Inquiry in the Liberal Arts.
