Step 24
Paying Attention to College Fit
Students often talk about colleges as if there is one universal definition of a "good" school.
But a place that works really well for one student may feel completely wrong for another.
Fit matters more than people admit.
A college can look impressive on paper and still not match the way you learn, live, or function best.
Core Idea
Fit matters more than prestige alone.
