#408: College: A Crash Course

Is college just about parties, pranks, and professors? Spend a day in the life of Nathan Marshall, our reporter and freshman at Ithaca College -- and find out what college life is really like. Plus, we follow reporter Andrea Barrow, a high school junior, on the start of the long and winding college application journey. She gets the inside info for you on what admissions officers look for and what turns them off, the best way to complete an application, and how to pick the right school and find financial aid. I found your show very informative and perfect for teenagers who are college bound and may be overwhelmed by the entire application process. The show thoroughly covered all the requirements for collegeall within a context that is clear but not condescending to teenagers.-Elizabeth Ruiz Quintana, Advisor, New York, NY *DVDs are also available on over 50 other topics of critical interest to teens.
