Oh The Places You'll Go

With the long weekend ahead, perhaps you are taking advantage of tomorrow's day off to make a visit to a college.  Many colleges in the area have visit days designed specifically for students who are off of school.  And, with so many colleges right here in central Ohio, you don't have to go far just to explore campuses and see what they offer.  Remember, it is easier to figure out what you actually like or don't like when you have something to compare it to so even if you want to go somewhere far away for college, there is still value in visiting schools locally so that you become a smarter consumer when you make the trip to see those far away colleges.

Don't forget to take a picture on every college campus that you step foot on - even if it is a school you are not seriously considering for your future! We would love to see the pictures, plus, every interaction you have with a college shapes your views on what you are looking for in the future.

I am excited about the pictures I have received already, but I also know that many of you have recently taken or are soon planning college visits and we'd like to continue to build on our picture display! (Plus I can't even begin to count the number of people who have promised to send me their photo...)  As a reminder, the picture can be of you anywhere at the college - a pretty place, in front of a cool building or an area where you expect to spend a lot of time, or, as seems to be the biggest hit - in front of a sign featuring the name of the college.

Emily Dyer gets the recognition for giving me the first picture for the class of 2016.


Erica Chen gets the recognition for giving me the picture from the college that is the greatest distance from WKHS. (NYU)

Thanks again to everyone that has helped with this project by taking pictures! Please continue taking pictures - I love seeing them when you bring them back and hearing more about your visit to the school!
