7. Choose 7 areas about college life that interest you or matter to you that you will research about each college (I.E. cost, does it have ____ major, what is the weather, what special programs do they have for foreign students, ....)
Campus,  people size, teams. location, GPA, cost,

10. If you have time, continue to explore colleges on Naviance until Ms. Shawn says to stop.

11. When Ms. Shawn tells you, summarize what you learned from this experience and tell how it will affect your habits as a student.
it affected me because I realized that theres a huge compeence and that a lot of collages ask for a high gpa but theres some other that the gpa is lower and are still very good schools.
