Today I came across a college comparison calculator. It allows you to enter 3 colleges that you are interested in and then score each college according to your opinion in areas like: setting (rural, urban, suburban),proximity to home, faculty accessibility, computer facilities, size, residence hall conditions,social life, athletic facilities/programs, reputation of school and so on. Once you are done scoring each school, you’ll see a total score. The highest score wins and you get free tuition at that school. I am just kidding about the free tuition part of course, but this seriously is a cool way to help you compare various schools.
Please note that this is not a Christian site and therefore doesn’t take into account the things that any Christian should when considering college options. You’ll have to evaluate those things on your own, but you could use a similar scale to theirs to continue the comparison from a Chrisitan perspective.
Let me know what other things you thing a Christian should consider when looking for a college. This will help others who read this post.
You can find the calculator by pointing your browser to www.educationquest.org or clicking here.
