25 MYTHS ABOUT COLLEGE
BY GEORGE DEHNE
IT'S BETTER TO GET GOOD GRADES THAN TAKE CHALLENGING COURSES.
STANDARDIZED TESTS (ACT, PSAT, SAT) ARE MORE IMPORTANT THAN YOUR HIGH SCHOOL GRADES.
I NEED TO DECIDE ON MY CAREER BEFORE I CAN CHOOSE A COLLEGE.
YOU CAN'T GET INTO A SELECTIVE COLLEGE IF YOU DID POORLY IN NINTH AND 10 GRADES.
IF I HAVEN'T HEARD OF A COLLEGE OR UNIVERSITY, IT CAN'T BE VERY GOOD.
A LOT OF OUT-OF-CLASS ACTIVITIES WILL COMPENSATE FOR POOR GRADES.
COLLEGES NEED STUDENTS SO IT'S EASIER TO BE ADMITTED.
YOU SHOULD GO TO THE MOST PRESTIGIOUS COLLEGE TO WHICH YOU ARE ADMITTED.
BIG COLLEGES ARE BEST IF YOU HAVEN'T DECIDED ON A MAJOR FIELD.
THE QUALITY OF THE ACADEMIC PROGRAM IN WHICH I AM INTERESTED IS THE MOST IMPORTANT CHARACTERISTIC OF A COLLEGE.
THE BEST TIME TO VISIT COLLEGES IS AFTER YOU HAVE BEEN ADMITTED.
COLLEGE IS FOR ONLY FOUR YEARS.
YOUR LIFE WILL BE RUINED IF YOU DON'T GET ADMITTED TO YOUR FIRST CHOICE COLLEGE.
YOU HAVE TO TAKE ONLY THE MINIMUM COLLEGE PREP COURSES TO GET INTO COLLEGE.
YOU WILL HAVE A BETTER CHANCE GETTING INTO PROFESSIONAL OR GRADUATE SCHOOL IF YOU GO TO A UNIVERSITY THAT HAS THESE GRADUATE PROGRAMS.
LIBERAL ARTS COLLEGES DO NOT HAVE GOOD SCIENCE PROGRAMS.
RESIDENCE HALLS ARE SIMPLY PLACES TO SLEEP.
LARGE UNIVERSITIES HAVE GREATER DIVERSITY.
YOUR COLLEGE EXPERIENCE WILL PRETTY MUCH BE LIKE EVERYONE ELSE'S.
COLLEGES ARE ONLY CONCERNED WITH MY INTELLECTUAL AND ACADEMIC DEVELOPMENT.
ONLY THE VERY BEST STUDENTS RECEIVE FINANCIAL AID.
STATE-SUPPORTED INSTITUTIONS OFFER MORE FINANCIAL AID THAN PRIVATE COLLEGES DO.
THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT PROVIDES MOST OF THE FINANCIAL AID.
EVEN IF I GET FINANCIAL AID I SHALL HAVE LARGE LOANS TO REPAY WHEN I GRADUATE.
YOU CAN'T TRUST THE COLLEGE ABOUT FINANCIAL AID.
