RESEARCHING COLLEGES: ACADEMIC BALANCE

Written By Michelle Baird

How much academic rigor is important to you?

The academic environment at colleges you apply to needs to be a good fit for you. Ask yourself:

  • Do you want to be in the lab on the weekends working on new discoveries?

  • Is it exciting to pursue new ideas in the library until all hours?

  • Or on Friday afternoon is it important for you to close your books and move on to other activities?

Ask yourself: what is the academic balance that will make you successful?

  • Do you need a structured academic environment?

  • Do you need flexibility to create your own path or major?

  • If you have learning differences or medical or mental health concerns, what supports do you need to be successful?

What is the right academic balance to help you grow?
